I have seen the light!

Whilst changing out the driverıs side motor mount, I decided to replace the
OEM ground strap on the battery.  I came to this decision after noticing
that the cheesy stamped metal ground terminal on the cable was actually
broken on the bottom and the only contact that was being made was around the
very top edge of the terminal.

I ran a 4 gauge wire from the battery to the bolt on the transmission that
used to hold the self-adjustment support rod for the clutch cable (now a
manually adjusted model).  I ran a 2 gauge braided strap from there back to
the frame (original location).

The starter now cranks at about twice the RPM.

Can I get an ³Amen?²
