Starter Drawing too much power? 30Amps without load normal?
Just wondering. We're about to start the car (86 944 n/a rebuild) and noticed the engine wouldn't crank when the starter was engaged. We removed the starter and had it running connected to a 12v battery charger to find that it's drawing 30A, but spins quite fast. The rear of the starter is also very hot to the touch. Is this indicative of a starter that needs to be replaced?
