[AT] Starter motor: troubleshooting?

[Phil Auten]

Dean,
Check around at your local auto supply stores. Most can custom build battery
cables to your gauge/length/connection needs. Minimum I would use is 2 AWG
for 6V or 12V. Like someone said, bigger is better on the 6V cables.
I had 2 AWG cables made for my F-150 as the ground cable is quite long and
I was having starting/charging problems. New heavy cables, adios problems.
