Reply To: high voltage shock from terminal on the solenoid to battery

[Beno]

well I just researched the stator a bit.. on googling: various online voices say Stator output is AC 14-15 volts. what I was getting hit with over on my solenoid jump activation was full spark plug volts.. like the 6000+volt stuff.  Something is off here.

this kind of stray voltage doesn’t belong wandering over by the starter solenoid… makes no sense.

I’m going to keep researching this.. but I think this may be what killed my starter switch, I can’t have 6000+volts flying around the wiring harness on on start.

I’ll start with tracing the ground. then pulling all the harness connections to the coils.. maybe be able to track which one its coming from.
