[TR] Bad Starter?

[Kevin Thompson]

  Darrell,
    The little voices in my head keep whispering....."ground strap"..in response to your question. This would be the ground from your motor to the frame.
   I won't go into what the other voices are telling me.
 
 Cheers,
Kevin T 
Cape Cod, Ma.

Guys,
Woe is Me! Again!  The Six is occasionally pegging the amp gauge to full 
discharge when I turn the key.  When this occurs the starter does not turn.  The 
amp gauge also stays discharged for a moment after the key is turned off.  This 
is intermittent with good starts in between.  I have checked the battery 
cables and they look OK.
I am thinking I have a dead short or flat spot in the starter.  What say the 
List?
Thank You Guys,
Darrell
