Hawks & Turkeys

In my efforts to get my new, 2024 Hawk to start, I found the starter struggling to power the engine and I thought it was a weak battery. In reality, the "wires" coming off the battery and solenoid weren't providing enough juice to the starter. I upgraded both "wires" to actual cables, and even found a seller on eBay who cut a six inch cable down to four inches before shipping it to me to make the short run from the battery to the solenoid. The seller is Gauge Wire & Cable, LLC. When you place your order on eBay, just message them and ask for a specific length.

One other thing I did with my new Hawk was a valve lash. Between the valve adjustment and the high grade cables I installed, its made a big difference in the Hawk's ability to routinely start.

More next time. Thanks for checking in.
