Having an issue with my Cup Racer starting, my motor dropped a valve on a rally last week so I swapped it out for one of my spare engines. But now it won’t start under its own power, when cranking off the battery I get no spark at all (New battery fitted same day). I have tried using a jump pack but makes no difference, have tried other battery’s but still no spark, the only way it will start is to hook it up to my mates Snap On Battery tester/Starter which gives out 14.4v. Once running it runs perfect, ticks over great and has plenty of power. If rolling along at 30-40 and you cut the motor it will bump start no issues. The starter motor on the car is less than 1000 miles old and still cranks nicely.
So there doesn’t seem to be an issue with the engine itself, looks to be something on the electrical side. Not a clue what is causing this, anyone got any idea’s?
