Hi Russ- I found a diagram that Rich posted a while ago buried in my files and it is helping me to sort this out. I was thinking this jumper had to do with starting, but the power for the starter is coming from the battery so that made no sense. So I think that this jumper is about efficient charging and you are just using the terminal on the starter as a junction to get power from the alternator to the battery more directly. If that is right, then if I put in a Balmar charge controller, then I presume this problem will go away and there is no need for the jumper? Dave
