the older i get the worse my memory gets
i think (i may be wrong) that there was a thread where the compression release was messed up on the late rocket and that would increase the amps it draws.
maybe someone can confirm?
I thinking that late rockets meant new rockets
yes that was what i was thinking a problem with those might make a starter work harder
of coarse this is just covering all the possibilitys
if you wanted to check this you could put a scope on it checking voltage then if you had on of the compression systems not working then you would see a spike in voltage higher than the other to cylinders . for example numer 2 cyl might read more than the #1 or #3 on the scope.
