Do I tighten the mount bolts till the mounts bulge slightly?
Doesn't the starter ground also ground the engine?
tighten fully, they bottom out on the inner piece(you did put that in right(on bolt))
What do the pins do? Are they required? I ask because only two of the mounts had them.
…..Then I can do away with them? I can't see how they would work on a heavily powdercoated mount. ...
IPC shows them, I would install them.
leave them off, you are replacing with a better performing idea, or in your case someone already figured out they were worthless...
AD79-25-7 Those grounding straps are inadequate and prone to breaking, thus the AD note.Added a strap at the starter motor mount and big difference in cranking.
When you think of what the ground path(s) must've been prior to adding the cable/strap, it's kinda concerning. How many amps can a vernier cable carry....?I was having sluggish cranking issues with my newly acquired 185 a couple of years back. It had a newer engine with a Seaplanes West mount.
I couldn't see any obvious grounding between the engine and the mount so called Seaplanes West and yep there is no grounding between the mount and engine.

Oh, that's a happy thought... What could possibly go wrong ??
