Thanks for the reply, Rusty. I do test them off the rig before I replace. They work as expected. You might be on to something with the ground. I'll have to check the engine grounds for crud and rust.

Over the past year I've been having starter problems. It started with a rebuilt denso that lasted many years. Since then I've gone through about 4 rebuilt starters. On the 4th I ordered a rebuild kit which included copper contacts, gaskets, replacement terminal, and rebuilt the starter...
