I have cleaned cables and replaced battery with one with factory specs. I have to have a fully charged battery and jumper cable help to start it up. [Reply]   [No Email]

I did reposition the battery ground cable away from the battery box to the starter mounting bolt and that helped. I will try some of the other suggestions later this week. [Reply]  [No Email]

Kind of rare for that to be a problem when cold though - unless you've got a substantial internal hydraulic leak. Take a voltage reading with one lead at the big post on the starter solenoid and the other held to the starter ground. It if drops below 9.5 volts while cranking - you've probably got a bad connection with one of the cables - or bad solenoid contacts - or brushes in the starter worn down. The sure easy and fast way to test is with a portable carbon-pile load tester. Just stick it on the big post of the solenoid and to ground and dial it up to 300 amps while reading voltage. If you cannot stay above 9 volts - the starter isn't getting enough battery power. If it does - then the engine is turning too hard (hydraulic pump most likely). [Reply]  [No Email]
