1965 Ford 2000 tractor 3 cyl diesel
I would like to put 24 volt (2X12 volt batteries in series)
to turn the engine faster (tired engine)
I want to put a drop resistor to feed the solenoid
in order to have 12 volt on it.
I have several big adjustable resistors different wattage
what would be the resistor value to have 12 V at the solenoid?
I tried to feed the solenoid tapping it on one of the two 12 V batteries
while feeding starter motor with 24 V... solenoid is activated but
jerks badly. If I feed the solenoid with a separate battery all is OK.
Thanks in advance
Bart
