starter wiring

[RatDime]

I am getting ready to install the starter. I have my truck race wired. I run the big ford solonoid, I am going to run one big wire to the starter, however, don't I have to loop something on the sttarter? Its been awhile for me. Thanx

The battery terminal on the starter needs to be jumpered to the 's' terminal on the starter. I've read some people have taken a shot piece of small diameter copper pipe, flattened it with a hammer, and drilled holes through it to make the jumper. I don't know if that would be possible in your case, but it's something I might do with mine over the winter.

thank you very much

You're welcome I really need to do this over the winter. Had a no-start for a bit again today 'cause of the stupid solenoid. Saw the voltmeter drop about 3-4 volts every time I tried to start it, but it just sat there and wouldn't do anything besides put a strain on my battery ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)
