ok, this is a continuation of a thread i started titled full river battery. There was a few following it already, but i'll throw this question out to all since it's about the starter.
after checking wiring, battery and grounds. No parasite drag. Engine cranks extremely slow.
Metered the current draw of the starter installed. Showed 480 amp first try second 520. Also starter seemed to have a slight growl, kind of sounded power related.
Also after cranking, all connections are cool except the stud between the plunger and starter motor.
I've removed the starter and my ame wants me to have a closer look at.
Would it be the moter itself if the heat is coming from that area, what else?
Starter is a 149-12lsx about at most 3 yrs old. current draw for these starters look to be 160-280amp.
