Hello again guys,
This is my first winter with my '86 E-350 chassis MH. The temps here are in the mid 20's at night and mid 30's during the day. My engine will start after 5 or 6 cycles of the GP timer but it doesn't sound too happy about it (-: The rig has 35,000 miles on it and I am curious if all the GP's are working or is that the way it is. I put my clamp-over meter on the red cable going from the battery to the GP solenoid and I get a reading of 11.5 amps. Is that the approximate correct current draw for eight GP's? If not what should it read for eight healthy GP's?
I know I could do the continuity check on each individual GP but in a E series that is not something that is really fun. If this reading is about right I can stop here, if not I will take my punishment and do the individual test.
Jim
