    Jonathan, as usual you do things right.   Congratulations on the great
write up that was missing in the archives.   It's a GREAT document and many
folks out there should follow your lead.   These cables, some 30 years old,
have corroded internally and are offering  enough resistance to create the
hard or inconsistent starting problem many are  complaining about.  There is
nothing visible that you can see to say  "change me"  the copper strands
inside the cable are corroded and the  resistance of the cable has escalated
!
Time to change all the cables  !
