[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1395612, member: 6354"] Years ago I had a starter peg my meter, which reads to 160 amps. Still worked, a little bit, if the engine was cold. At gas stations I'd have to go inside and pretend to shop for 15 or 20 minutes to give everything time to cool off enough to start; it would NOT crank hot! On disassembly of the starter, found magnets loose inside the case, and had been rubbed by the rotating parts. Wasn't pretty. But yeah, once you see current draw that high, you're through testing. No need to look anywhere else. [/QUOTE]
