The induction ammeter has a coil that encircles the wire in question and the current going through the wire sets up an electromagnetic field that the coil interrupts; strength of current determines voltage induced in the coil which the meter displays as amperage. Regular ammeter is inline with the flow and measures directly. I'm not an electrician but I believe this is accurate; any electricians out there, correct if I err... Stanley

What is the difference between an induction ammeter and just a regular ammeter?

The battery wouldn't come back that much but the starter would cool off. See if anybody has an induction ammeter to see how much the starter draws hot / cold. Just a guess... --- On Fri, 5/1/09, wayne crull <[email protected]> wrote: From: wayne crull <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Electrical To: "nighthawk_lovers" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, May 1, 2009, 12:51 AM OK, here is a good one. The last couple of times I have gone for a ride the battery has appeared to have drained. Here is an example of the ride. Lots of twisties, so in the range of 6-8k rpms and lots of 2nd and 3rd gear. The ride has been roughly an hour from departure to return. Once I get home I have either shut it off intentionally or killed it trying to maneuver back into the garage. So when I try and restart the engine turns over real hard and on the second push of the starter it grunts to a halt. I just went out and restarted it and it fired right up. I love issues like this. Let me know if you have experienced this or know what needs to be fixed.
