Re: Starter solonoid (HondaKPX)
instead of being a crybaby about it, try looking somewhere else. Did you ever think that maybe nobody who is on h-t knows at this time? H-T isn't god. It doesn't always have all the answers. DAMMMNNNNN

That's right
In all honesty i don't know. Try looking at a Helms manual for the car. It hsould tell you how to diagnose this problem. I'm guessing it is prob. somewhere around the 12v mark, since there is a Positive connection to the starter from the batterey. Just my guess though
p.s. sometimes it takes a while to get an answer, so don't check your post every hour expecting it to change much

Re: Starter solonoid (HondaKPX)
10 amps according to the fuse panel cover. thats what i am using but im having trouble starting up sometimes. car starts up fine, but sometimes just won't start. i just ordered a starter. the # of amps might depend on what transmission you are using also. i am not sure

Re: Starter solonoid (CWESTINDC2)
Well, if the fuse panel say 10 amps then it's probably around 6 amps that is going from the key to the solenoid.
Going from the battery to the starter is a whole different question. The solenoid is basically a relay. When you turn the key, the "relay" closes and the starter gets all the power direct from the battery. Batterys are rated weird and have "cranking amps". It's not uncommon to see them do 500 cranking amps. But, for people with have mounted their battery in the trunk, you will find that some use a circuit breaker rated at about 100 amps. So, whatever amperage the starter tries to pull is what it takes. You are probably looking at about 75 amps from he battery to starter.
