i found a nifty way to check for ground probs in the starting area

[boggerless]

i had a bad ground and i took a set of jumper cables,hooked one to the neg on the battery and the other to the hood spring.then i hooked the other side of the cables to the one already on the neg side of the battery and that ones mate to the frame. and she turned over . so i disconnected the frame cables and she still turned over,so it was easy to know i had a bad body ground.i almost baught a new starter.

Ived had to do this a few times. the neg cable got torn up on somethin and i need to start the motor once i got it in. everybody was already closed so jumper cables to the rescue!
