802 / 803 CT wire, was it cut to fit?

[rhurey]

Got an 802 that looks like it was 1/2 way through a rebuild and something has been wrong with every wire loom.

Latest shenanigans is that the 003 and 009 wires going through CT1 were wound in opposite directions. Which may explain why the % Current meter doesn't work.

Whomever ran the wires also only went 4 loops per wire through the CT, and the TM wants 8. Of course, while there is some extra wire there isn't enough to run 4 more loops through the CT's.

Does this wire come on a huge spool pre-numbered? Good commercial alternate?

No the numbers on them were custom run. Search through the forum, the same milspec wire is available on spoons without nomeclature on it... want to say it was through an Allied or similar.

Unless you're just a purest skip the white mil spec wire, go buy some SO cord and call it good , if you buy 5 conductor you can have all 5 colors red blk org/blu grn, wht. but like most things, its ur decision.. mac/mc

I found some 450 degree rated wire on Amazon for a reasonable amount and just spliced it in with some marine grade heat shrink crimp connectors.

Worked great.

So what was a “won’t start, starter burned up” $100 auction buy that I figured was at worst a long Thanksgiving with Dad pulling a motor apart and some panels to sell turns out to be a decent runner with a new engine.
