Vehicle Wiring Products do a 16 sq mm multistrand light welding cable which is far more flexible than battery cable and is good for 110 amps. Cheers, Stu.The cables I use are about 70 amp - nearly as thick as my Egli frame.

Back to your original post, what adjustment did you carry out on the clutch...........This seems to be something overlooked after-which the problem started. Something changed to cause the starter to now struggle.
Oh for a set of rollers I thinkThat's my next/last gadget to look at. I'm glad you suggested it because I'd talked myself out of that one. Back to the garage - oh for a kickstart and young legs.

Bought a set added a 4hp motor lights dim a bit when I start a bike but invaluable -especially when moving the oil round after a rebuild
I was just about to move on and read the next post and then I had a thought (quite rare!) because if I'm reading this correctly all this started after a carb adjustment? So what I can point out is that on my shadow with 8-1 pistons the starter will only Turin the engine over with throttles closed, if you open the throttle while the starter is turning the engine it will stop. Maybe there's a throttle cable hung up or som other issue. Perhaps try lowering the slides all the way to the bottom to test the theory. My egli has much lower compression so the phenomenon is less pronounced.Only mentioned what I'd done, because it seemed to have no relevance. Just cleaned plates, and adjusted it. It turns freely disengaged and engaged with plugs out and it doesn't slip under load. I've since taken it off and checked it - no signs of anything wrong.
Only thing I keep coming back to is how I adjusted the pilot setting/tickover. Someone suggested take plug out of rear and set front to tickover at 1000 rpm, then repeat on rear cylinder, then replace plug and adjust throttle stops. Seemed like a good idea, adjusted front and rear then it wouldn't start on both, now it won't start on one cylinder either. I can't think of any reason why this has caused the problem.
