Looks like I am one of those guys.

I have a box of wire, so I already some 0/1 and 0/2 wire. I will move my battery to the side of the stand and create a short run of 0/1 wire to the starter. I will go back to my "big" starter and see where that gets me.
What you guys are saying makes perfect sense and after looking at the wire, its probably 8 gauge at best and it is at least 6 feet. I should be able to give it a go tomorrow, so I will update.

Appreciate the help.
