[QUOTE="skiwest, post: 4245, member: 345"] Actaully the starter motor was never the problem with the last two rebuilds. It was only the starter soleniod. Not sure about the first one. It could have been the problem maybe way that is why it was so much more. The cable changed was not from battery to starter motor but from the general power circuit to the starter soleniod. The +ve circuit went battery to stater motor post with big cable. The starter post was used as terminal for rest of circuit. There were 3 lugs on that post, one for battery, one for battery boost and one to supply +ve to the rest of the system. It was a bugger to get all three lugs on as cables were short plus not very accesible. What the problem was the starter relay was feet of wire ( voltage drop) away from the battery. And it had a significant amp draw. So by the time it got to the starter soleniod the voltage was too low to hold in the soleniod plunger against the spring force. So waht I did was cut out the middle men so to speak but powering the start relay power side directly from the battery using big cables. [/QUOTE]
