[QUOTE="BerniniCaCO3, post: 7477560, member: 636434"] yeah... I know that. In fact your estimates of 70-80amps are exactly what I came up with myself (80amps @2000rpm on the alternator, according to the manufacturer... and given 700rpm at hte crank and roughly a 3:1 pulley ratio...) Which is enough to run the fan continuously but not enough to start the fan. Why wouldn't a cap help with supplying the amperage surge to start the fan? [/QUOTE]
