May as well use a bloody 12V starter, avoids all the unnesessary switch gear

According to a bus-mechanic mate it's very common. It lets you run the whole vehicle (incl charge system) on 12v with both batteries in parrallel. Only switching to 24v for starting while not blowing up the rest of the vehicle.Mmmm, that's a stoopid setup
Usually 24V jap stuff runs elec system in 24v and an invertor for the 12v, so you dont draw the accessories of one battery alone, but yours 24vs to crank then runs the accessories of both batteris, mmmmm, stoopid 24V sytems

So my 12v starter on my izoozoo is drawing in excess of 600A then
I could tong it at work tonight and find out

I think it might be a 12v starter.Gets off it's **** with 24v on it's tail, but would be slow and painful with 12.
Do you have a geared starter or direct drive?
OldBushie
That'll get it crankin'I think it might be a 12v starter.

the isuzu as fitted to the landrover should have a reduction drive startermotor and on initation can draw more than 600 amps and then usually settles to about 300 or so.
the glow circut should draw between 60 and 80 amps.
some trucks have a direct drive 24v unit and internally ist basically a sereis III diesel starter motor....
when it start to give you trouble turf it and your 24v starting system and install the reduction drive starter.

4/6BD1/T 12v reduction starter $400 brand new off Ashcroft, just bought a spare the other day!.

Damn that's a good price Gerry, they are normaly around the 1500 $ mark.
I can't fathom why you would want a 24v starter??????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????
The standard gear reduction isuzu starter only draws 110amps whilst cranking, I have tested a few after rebuilding them. And I'm pretty sure they are mitsubishi starters also.
A full charged N70 gets my starter motor humming like a cheap pro on speed!!!!

Back on topic - I think my glow plugs are connected - there is an orange light on the dash, but it only ever comes of for a fraction of a second - even at really cold temperatures.
