I want to replace the positive battery cable in my 84 westy. From what
i see it is a #4 wire with the standard battery lug and a 1/4 inch lug
at the solenoid end. It's about 10 ft. long. I've read some posts on
this site about it but have never read what size i should go to. Would a
#2 be large enough or should i go bigger. The only problem i encounter
is the slow engine cranking. It's never failed to start but i can't be
doing the starter any good with the low amperage. My second question is,
their are 2 wires in addition to the starter cable. One goes to the
alternator, I don't know where the other one goes. I think it goes over
to the batt. compartment under the drivers seat but i'm not sure. If so
i can get this wire molded into the batt lug and upsize that wire too. I
would guesstimate this wire as about 4 ft. long and about a #12 wire.
Any and all info would be appreciated
