Battery Cable Size

Post by MikeB »

A friend of mine is also rebuilding a L16A and needs to know the cable size from the battery to the relay (?). He is retaining the old starter rather than putting one of the new 'lightweight" ($$$$) starters. Number 4 cable size kind of sticks in my mind. Does anyone know for sure?
Engine is a C85

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

That size rings a bell with me but he might look in AC43-13 just to make sure. It has cable sizes required for runs there.

He has a copy of 43.13, but says it's somewhat inconclusive. My copy is in the shop, but I'm going to take a look later. Also, take a look at the parts for my L16 as I think it had some cables among all the parts (that I have carefully stored away :roll: ).
Thanks,

Mike
