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.

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!"
