I added a 4guage ground cable from the starter strait to the frame (Attached
to one of the cradle to frame bolts on the Bostig Conversion). Along with
replacing the battery, it now starts great!

Hopefully this will hold.

Now I have a spare battery which i'm going to need for my syncro anyway (No
battery in there).
I think there is still some life in that battery.
I believe it was a grounding issue mostly.

If I run a new cable, it will be 4guage. This seems sufficient.
