Re: Stus-List Darker Smoke, Harder to Start

Edd,It looks like you have a deep cycle battery. For engine starting you want a starting battery. They are measured in CCA cold cranking amps. The plates are thinner to allow a higher amp draw.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 just west of Ballard, WA. -- Original message--From

If everything is good, then this battery can crank that engine without breaking a sweat, even if the engine does not start easily and has to crank for a bit. New connections are not automatically good connections. Check resistance at every connection involved, and also measure voltage drop at t

Re: Stus-List Darker Smoke, Harder to Start

Joel, I have the challenge that statement. When over 13 volts, the battery is in a charging state — power is being put into the battery from an alternator or external charging source. See this chart: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sjQa85Sqkts/UOiBZ_ESsXI/A1Y/kRSbJIGLZ7M/s403/12vbat

Josh, When just the T-1275 is engaged, it’s a slow to no churning. When I combine with the House Bank, she’ll start up. I know the specs of the engine and the T-1275 say it should work, but the numbers are close and, perhaps if the engine was new or in perfect condition it would, but the amps

All, Did a bunch of tests this weekend and took one lister’s advice to burn off some carbon buildup. In the end, it appears my new Trojan T-1275 starting battery, despite what the numbers say, isn’t pushing out enough juice to get the 25 year-old Universal cranking, even at a full charge (12.7

Edd, It's normal for dark smoke (unburned fuel) to exhaust if it takes longer to fire. Do you have glow plugs on your Universal like on mine? You may just need more glow plug time? Universal recommends, "Turn key on to energize electric fuel pump, shifter in neutral, thottle 1/3rd, hold the g

If it is cranking at the usual speed, then the compression might be off a bit in one of the cylinders. This can happen if one of the piston rings has got stuck over the winter. I would warm up the engine good and hot and then take for a run. Run it fairly hard for a couple of hours so long as ev
