I am finding it hard to get my 604 to start brand new lithum battery with 15v showing,click on the decompressor, choke , hit the starter and it does one spin and stops dead same again and the battery dead plus the earth wire gets hot. thought it was a bad earth put a new thicker earth lead on and give it a good earth same thing

Does it kick over freely, only thinking it could be the starter gear/ starter |

If the earth is getting hot after one turn, I'd think you have a short cct some where, live cable is not pinched some where or shorting on the starter terminal |

there should be a thick earth going from the battery to the frame, about 4 or 5 inches long. when i took my loom apart the other week, that cam cover earth wasnt even connected to anything!! |

I've got both. The one from the rocker cover is bolted behind the rear brake reservoir, and the main earth for the starter is (obviously) bolted between starter mounting bolt and battery. I also ran a separate earth from the loom to the reservoir bolt, as well as the one from the loom to the battery. I've learned the hard way that one can never have too good an earth! |
