HD6E starter motor

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   It has been a year since I posted about my starter motor troubles.  I rebuilt my   starter and starter solenoid.  I replaced the wire connecting the batteries with #2 welding cable.  I used #2 wire on my HD6G that has both batteries in the same battery box.  I got back to the HD6E and hooked up the wires to start it.  The left hand battery box smoked and the connecting wire came off the terminal end.  I replaced the wire checking that all connecting cables were tight.  I pressed the starter button again and the right battery box smoked melting the terminal connector.  I replaced the #2 cable with the #0 cable with the keyed battery disconnect under the seat.  I turned the key and the starter solenoid clicked without me pressing the starter button.  I turned the disconnect off but it didn't go off.  The battery cables got warm.  I loosened the terminal ends.  I could rotate them but I could not remove any of them.  I had to spread them with a screw driver because the heat reduced the battery terminal diameter.  I recharged the batteries and found the year old batteries could only hold 25% charge.  My $25 replacement battery disconnect came today.  Rating 200 Amp continuous 1000 Amp intermittent.  Hope it goes well when I try to start it tomorrow.
