Voltage drop in secondary starting circuit

[Mr Mower Man]

So I wired in the relay and it works like a charm!!!

Thanks for the help guys!

hello,i realize that this thread is a couple years old but i gotta add relay to my kohler aegis engine.i have one question though,should the power wire from the starter to the relay be fused?with maybe a 25 or 30 amp fuse??? thanks

One of the diagrams of such a relay setup I have here in my Kohler files does shows a 30 amp fuse but I think the size is oversized quite a bit. I would prefer a size a lot closer to starter current draw but that's just the electronics engineer in me. Any fuse is better than none but that again the experience engineer in me speaking. I also have never did a current draw test on the solenoid shift starter solenoid so I have no idea of the current draw of it.

i got my relay all wired up this morning and fused it with a 25 amp fuse.no more click click crank.it now cranks everytime I turn the key.its not a good feeling when you are miles from nowhere in the argo and the starter goes click,click when you attempt a start.

thanks guys
