Default Any difference on how much heat a starter can take?
Hola!...
This summer I got even more trouble starting the 347 when engine was hot.
I installed a relay that is turned over by the factory starter enganging wire and leads the + directly from the battery to the starter relay. This has helped alot.

I have one of those mini hi torque Powermaster Mastertorque starters and it's been working most of the time in the 7 or so years it's been running. Been taking it apart and fixed small things a couple of times. However- it has let me down quite alot of times when the engine is hot. Too bad you cannot drive away from the gas station.... By the way I'm running one of those heat blankets now, without noting any real difference.

Are there any difference on how well starters keep up with heat?
In other words; can I get a new starter and expect better performance?

Regards
RS
