Nice save on that cover Versy.

Can you give us a little more detail? For instance, did you set it up in a drill press or were you able to pull it off with a hand drill. I see the hole is exactly 10.00mm and there is a smaller hole at the bottom of the existing blind hole. Can you follow the smaller hole with say a 9.8mm drill or possibly a letter "W" drill and then finish up with a 10mm machine reamer?

Pretty cool that you were able to upgrade the old cover on the cheap.

Knowledge is power.

I wanted to see how much current the starter draws without the solenoid and this is this first oscilloscope reading

Reply #36 - 10/11/20 at 04:14:08 I figured something was off since the current did not match the battery voltage and was constant at 20A. Turns out the I was bottoming out the scale. When I changed the range on the clamp probe I got what I believe to be correct numbers instead

After some thinking and input from members here I realize that the current is probably even higher than ~130A. My clamp probe has a limit of 65A AC and should mean that the peak current it can accurately measure is around 130A. If I want to get a better reading I need to find a clamp probe that can handle larger currents and a better battery that will no sag so much when the engine is cranking.
