Subject:Re: Starter Engages When Revving Engine

My apologies, I did not mention that this is not a Westie, but an AW with an
isolator, so I don't have the relay beneath the seat. I did remove the
red/blk wire which comes from the ignition switch, while the engine was
running, from the starter solenoid, put a meter on it, revved engine and got
13V. This effectively removed the Cold Start Relay from the picture, as I
see it........?? Or, is the Westie relay approach, as Mark suggests,
applicable? If so, why is it doing this without the Cold Start Relay in the
loop? Thanks! Hope to not cook another starter..............Miguel
