>A cable from battery positive to the block resulted in instant cure. For
various reasons, I settled for a 12-guage wire from the firewall, which
works perfectly. Careful examination reveals no other connection between
motor and ground.

>Why did it work until 2 days ago? The only simultaneous event was the
breaking of a tail-pipe; perhaps there was some grounding through the
exhaust system.
>
>One last favor: Please don't tell anyone about this, as I am infamous for
telling anyone with a starting problem to put in a good ground strap. When
they say that wouldn't help a dead battery or seized motor, I always tell
them "Well, it wouldn't hurt!"
