Shawn, before you go to heroic measures on tracing wires or replacing them, try a quick temporary patch wire from your alternator directly to the connection on your starter solenoid that has the fat red wire running to the positive side of the battery. Just disconnect the charging wire from the alternator (that you think is too small) and tape it off safely. Then run a nice short 10 gauge wire directly from the alternator to the starter solenoid. It doesn't have to be pretty, just a quick wire between the alternator and the solenoid that has nice terminals that connect well. Now, your ammeter will not be reading properly, so ignore it. But you should have a healthy 13.5 to 14.5 volts throughout the system with all your stuff on and your engine revving over 1200 RPM. Do this first as a test. |
