With the engine running, you will see a rather high voltage on the ignition switch as this is the voltage being used to charge the CD module. The switch voltage is AC and should be measured with your meter set in the AC position.
I made some notes on voltages with the system operating normally and I measured 51V AC from the high side to ground on the on/off switch on my Kaw when idling at 3,500 RPM. You don't say if you are using a Rotax or Kaw. The other voltages sound about right, but I don't understand why your battery is heating up. Are these starts in rapped succession ? What type of battery are you using ? The battery should not heat up. Your starter maybe in need of repair or your battery terminals are loose or of to small size.

I was checking the votes on my car and found that I have 108 volts at my on off switch. My tail light switch has 11.83 volts is the right? also my battery only starts my car 2 or 3 times before it must cool off before working again. Is the normal. > > _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
