Reinstating the electric starter
Posted: 27 Feb 2024 16:08
Hi, I'm thinking of reinstating the electric start.
My K came to me without one, but following a bit of knee probs it seems a good idea.
I think I have most of what I need in my stash, starter and cover from an Excalibur, which I'll clean out and top up, start button throttle from god knows where! Can't find a solenoid so looking at this one https://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalo ... l#SID=726=.
I haven't touched an electric start Morini for years, looking at the wiring diagram looks straight forward.
But I have a couple questions:
Diagram shows a red + wire going from the solenoid + back to the fuse box via the main fuse, could this come straight from the battery (it does at the moment)?
What gauge cable should I use between battery-soleniod/solenoid-starter, I have some 16mm2 hi-flex (110amp) or should I use 25mm2?
Strangely the frame is missing the solenoid mounting bracket, must have gone MIA as it's a kink frame.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Si
