My Velocity Std RG has a flown 110 hours now and when I tried to start it the
other day the start switch circuit breaker popped. A friend told me that the
starter solenoid (on the starter) was clicking when I turned the switch. I
took the starter to a repair shop and after a complete check out they said that
it was in perfect condition.
I called Sky-Tec and was told that the solenoid pulls 6 amps. I had
installed a 5 amp breaker, but it has worked until now. At this point I assumed that
the breaker has been over worked and finally failed. To test this idea I
connected a 10 amp breaker to a separate lead to the solenoid and the engine
cranked. The problem now is that when I tried the regular circuit with the 5 amp
breaker it worked fine.
Replacing the 5 amp breaker with a 10 amp would seem to be the fix, but that
is a real nasty job. Ideas, suggestions?
