Randall and Jim,
Thanks for the help, I must be missing a digest;I had to go to the archive to
see your replies.
What I finally did, at my father's suggestion, was to switch my charger to 6
Volts (1/2 the voltage, 1/2 the amps for a given resistance), then warm the DC
motor up by running it for a bit at that setting. Once it was warm, it ran at
12V without any difficulty. Hopefully, when I have a battery in place I won't
have this problem. I'm reluctant to buy one now, since my car won't be
roadworthy for a year, but I may have to so I can test circuits properly while
everything is so accessible.
Thanks again to the list, and particularly to Randall for his informative posts.
Cheers, Tom Marincic
