Battery not strong enough for new engine
The time finally came today to fire up the engine I put together over the summer(see signature below).
The engine barely turned at all with a 700 cca battery. I thought maybe the battery was low or bad so I borrowed the one out of the "88GT which is a 750 cca and got the same thing. Is it because a new engine is a little tighter or am I going to need a bigger battery? When I put the battery out of the '88 in it.....it acted like it was low on power but I know it wasn''t. Any ideas?
