I have been pleased with my purchases from the source EXCEPT for the two mini starters I bought. Both have the same problem with not working until the engine cools. One is on a 496 stroker and one is on a basically stock 360 LA. The 360 is a drag car. The problem was so bad that I actually went back to the stock starter on it.



OH SNAP!! My source starter is doing the same thing. I was getting ready to change the battery cable, (4 gauge with battery in the trunk) and I wondered if some,part,all, of it might be the starter.

Anybody else experience heat soak with the source starter on a regular basis?



You need to use a beefy ground strap, similar to the battery cable to ground your motor if you did a batt. relocate to the trunk. It sounds like heat soak when the starter drags but if the ground strap is too small it takes the juice away from the starter and your teeny ground strap will be extremely hot to the touch. OR your starter is crap.
