Finally have the 004 ready for a test, but not so fast...
The electric fuel pumps and float switch, etc have been removed. My unit is fed from two small tanks which are mounted on the top of the unit and pumped through a mechanical, block mounted fuel lift pump.
I attempted to crank the motor and can hear a loud "clunk" as if the starter gear is hitting the flywheel or my solenoid is louder than any I have ever heard.
Questions:
1. I am using two brand new 12v batteries, wired correctly, each with only 540 cold cranking amps. Is this enough amperage to spin the motor over? The motor is free as I am able to rotate it with a breaker bar.
2. With all of the previously installed fuel pump wires and float switch wire disconnected, will this prevent the unit from cranking?
