Hi Fella's,
Seem to have a problem with my new engine i have built!

The engine turns over fine on the starter motor with out the spark
plugs screwed into the block, so every thing is ok there. But the problem starts when i screw the spark plugs into the block and the
engine pistons are doing there compression stoke one at a time,
the starter motor can not manage to turn her over!
Please Help and leave any info and ideas you might have, by the what the starter motor is new. Any replys are most grateful. :wink:

Hi, :wink:
I had a problem similar to this after striping and rebuilding my engine
check your engine to chassi (think it is spelt right) connection
then battery to chassi
make shure these are good connections(recommend sand paper+copper grease)

if this doesnt solve it a new battery with a higher cold crank rating is needed

i hope this solves it for you
