quicky on starting the engine out of the car????
Turbo Mini Forums

turning over slowly sounds like a bad earth...

hmmm rich, good thinkingbud, either that or a supply mayb....?
i wonder what could be the cause of something like
that in a situation as simple like this???????

anyone got any suggestions?

maybe a bad starter? no... "starter seems fine"
maybe a bad battery? noooo...."i have a decent battery"

maybe not enough juice getting from one to another???????

MOST JUMP LEADS ARE SHITE SHITE SHITeSHITE SHITE for thispurpose)

maybe try using a car with its engine running (14v + to compensate for the bad connection) to 'jump' the engine into life?

seriously though, flip, even the best jumpers sap alot of power as theres an extra 12' of cabling (i.e. resistance) in some instances, alot of the time couple with minute contact points at either end, so please just try wiring it up with SHORT, DECENT connections and see where that gets you
