|
|
Considering using Z-22 for a Skytec PM starter circuit.
Z-22 eliminates the jumper on the starter and makes the starter terminal hot with master on, running an additional line from the starter contactor to power up the solenoid. Usually, the battery cable runs to and then thru the starter contactor to the starter.
I know Z-22 is primarily concerned with eliminating "Run On" Would it also provide more power for starting?
That is would there be less power loss to make battery cable run 14' all the way to PM starter solenoid or run 11' to firewall mounted starter contactor then 3' to battery? Not running thru the contactor but just connected on the power side of the contactor.
In other words is there appreciable loss thru 2 lugs joined thru a bolt on the contactor?
Currently have 3' of 6 gauge from starter to starter contactor which is next to firewall mounted battery. Am moving battery aft and trying to decide whether to run the 2 gauge all the way to the starter or just run it to the starter contactor and keep the 6 gauge from the contactor to the starter. Hope this make sense...
