With a new powermaster starter, the ignition disconnected, and two red top optima batteries, it doesn't want to turn over hot.
We've replaced the starter 3 times, and just upgraded the cutoff switch to a 300 amp unit.
I recommended heavier wire to the owner of the car prior to the last starter change, but he wanted to try this first.
The 2AWG wire that is in the car now, came with the Taylor wire products relocation kit. I know they sell the kit with 1awg too, so I was curious what other guys were using.
We're running out of things to rule out.

I go to the welding supply and get the biggest cable they have. That is one area I want absolutely no trouble from. Welding cable will have far less voltage drop than a battery cable will and is also more flexable for routing.
Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!

Hence the EQUAL importance of the negative leads
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
