Slow cranking problem solved[700/90] posted by dick on

My 90 740 T has been a slow cranking beast since I got it 4 years ago. Recently changed the battery and it was still slow.
There are two ground points, one on the engine and the other is supposed to go the frame. Apparently the factory fit the one ground to a stand off bracket which was then attatched to the frame. Bad connections. Checked my wifes 940 T and it is grounded directly to the frame. So, I did the same and now it cranks as it should.

Live and learn,
dick
