guyskin Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Considering the inclusion of a WOSP (Workplace Observation and Safety Program) beginning. I am seeking information pertaining to the electrical aspect. I am use a negative ground configuration in conjunction with an alternator. The electrical system includes a 10g cable that connects the alternator to the current starting relay, facilitating the charging of the battery. Is the stock relay/solenoid often used by the majority of users? 2) Determining the wiring configuration for the use or exclusion of the pre-existing relay/solenoid. I express my gratitude for your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrishazle Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The decision was made to retain the old starting relay/solenoid during the installation of the high torque starter. A readily producible "10G" jumper wire was necessary for the installation of the new starter. I wish you success in your endeavor with the WASP starter. I appreciate the recent advancements in starting technology, particularly the development of smaller and lighter variants that exhibit enhanced torque output.

Alex1978 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The stock relay is used, along with the original heavy wire (specifically, gauge #6, if I recall correctly), to establish a connection between the relay and the newly installed starter.

guyskin Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 It may be inferred that you are referring to the act of connecting a jumper cable between the starter and the solenoid on the starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The jumper connecting the solenoid on the starting to the motor was provided as part of the starter assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwdriver_1 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The old solenoid was discarded and replaced with the integrated solenoid inside the high-torque unit. The reduction in the number of wires and components decreases the likelihood of potential failures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br1anuk Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Could you please provide the model number for the gear motor starter with more torque in comparison to the other type? By whom is it carried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyskin Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 The model I purchased was identified as LMS005, to the best of my knowledge. It seems to be the same one that Moss has. I made the purchase of mine using the online retail platform, Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If the query is directed at me, I must clarify that in my previous article, when I said "high torque," I was speaking in a general sense. To be more precise, the appropriate term for the unit I was referring to would be a "pre-engaged starter." The source of my acquisition is British Starters, but, I am unaware of the specific manufacturer or the stated "torque" specifications.

jimmy47785 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I have just acquired a wasp for my 1973 MGB automobile; however, I have encountered an issue whereby the wires provided are insufficient in length to adequately reach the WOSP starter. Has anybody successfully connected one of these devices so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
