Dear okikuma
Newly completed Little Wing 5 in Grass Valley. I'm no electrical guy. I don' t understand your electrical diagram.
The second lighter line wire shown coming from the starter, is this a completely separate positive line coming from the Starter and going to the positive terminal of the battery?
I have included a diagram of my Pre Rotation circuit. I have not tested without a fuse, or in my case a circuit breaker, because I am afraid of reaching a high enough amperage to fuse the heavy duty solenoid in the closed position, very bad. This morning I hand propped the rotor blades and pulsed the panel mounted solenoid switch in one second bursts of starter torque, the rotor blades got up to about 50 RRPM and I guess I left the secondary switch on to long and I blew the 300amp circuit breaker, in two test runs.
Is there any type of resistor or capacitor I can put inline to fix this to dampen the initial amperage spike? What size resistor wire or component?
Here is a diagram of what I currently have wired up.
