Well, sometimes ya gotta look at the most obvious, simple thing. Kinda like in the movie “Slingblade” when he figures out the lawnmower ain’t running because “it ain’t got no gas!”
In the case of my battery… I installed the battery wrap and while I was at it, wire brushed the snot out of the cable hook ups and wiped the battery pays clean of gunk and build up.
F’g thing fires right up now!
Result!!
Addendum, completely unrelated:
I completely wasted a newer Camaro asshole in town today. Felt goooooood! Lit it up off the green, burned through the intersection, got a little sideways… never saw him again ++++
