Battery Short or Something

Anonymous-0 · Dec 24, 2008

I am having problems starting my loader. It turns over just fine seems to have spark and Gaspropane. When I try starting the positive side of the battery will smoke. The loader never starts and if I turn it over for to long it will back fire out the exhaust. This is on a International 500 payloader.
Any helpful hints or has someone seen something like this before.

Thanks.

If the battery connection is smoking it has a bad or loose connection. They will always be warm or hot if connection is bad.
As for the back firing it sounds like you have moisture in the distributor cap. Spray some brake Clean in the cap and let it dry. Then see if it will start. I've started many of LP engines and had to do that.

ive had rain water get in between the post and the terminal which creates a bad connection and most of the time corrodes it if you are not sending enough juice through your distributor might not be firing or faintly firing which could be the backfire
