[Roadsters] Battery

[hrhaslett]

I have that starter but all the time it engages with a thunk but doesn't turn. If I jump the battery it cranks like crazy. How many CCA should my battery have?Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

We have a local starter shop that built mine. Seems he used something from a Honda & put the correct drive on it.

            A gear reduction starter is the way to go.  You'll
            never have starting problems again.  We used them on both
            race 1600s; engines with much higher compression than
            stock.  Try http://tsimportedautomotive.com/
            for a starter.  Tell Ted I sent you, but he'll probably just
            laugh!
            And I can't remember what battery I used, I moved it to
            the passenger side of the trunk.

            I have had good service from an Odyssey PC680, located
              same place, but in a laydown aluminum housing.
            Also use a short-nosed, gear-reduction starter, which
              cuts startup current draw substantially.

              Hey all,
              What size/group battery do you use? I have the
                original hold down. 
              The stock size skinny battery has such low amps my
                starter has a hard time turning over.
