{That's what I now suspect. It's not really a wire -- it's a metal strap
{that is bolted to the other post at one end, and disappears into the middle
{of the starter motor at the other. I'm going to give a good tightening to
{the post just for yuks.
Although it sounds like it's NOT the problem, the test for a bad ground
is so simple I though that I would mention it anyway. I've had bad
grounds before that showed non-start similar symptoms. Simply running a
jumper cable from the - post of the battery to the engine block fixed
the problem until I tracked the problem down to one end of the battery
to body grounding cable.
