decdd19 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 How many earth's on these engines an where are they roughly thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I suspect I'm short of a couple, as the only earth I had to undo to get the engine out was the gearbox to chassis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

decdd19 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Sorted on starter alternator and inlet Mani Any idea how thick the wire is or should be off the other earth's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommcnaught Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Pretty sure they vary but just over do it if you need to make a new one as you will only benefit from a better earth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Do you mean where the engine/box is earthed to the chassis or do you mean where there is earth points on the wiring loom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
decdd19 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Engine an box to the chassis , the ones in the loom are pretty straight forward Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Are you having probs with it turning over? Take a look at the latest post in my build thread, i was and made a new earth from the box to the chassis and it sorted it. Ive got some surplus and can make you one if you wish.

RobSR Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Just a local place then I've got some hydraulic crimpers to put them on and heatshrink them after. I did my one out of 35mm2 so pretty chunky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
decdd19 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Ya would want a hydraulic crimps for that ha least it gives me an idea thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yea you won't have a hope of doing them with anything else, even 25, or 16mm you'd struggle i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
