I can. Maybe you just don't have as much experience with human nature
and some of the downright senseless stubbornness that I have seen. One
wants to remember, too, that one function of these posts is that somebody
in the future, about to make the same mistake, might read something that
will change his mind. One can always hope.

I can. Maybe you just don't have as much experience with human nature
and some of the downright senseless stubbornness that I have seen. One
wants to remember, too, that one function of these posts is that somebody

I can. Maybe you just don't have as much experience with human nature
and some of the downright senseless stubbornness that I have seen. One
wants to remember, too, that one function of these posts is that somebody

You seem to be fixated on this "wrong" starter issue. Now who is to say
it's the wrong one? After all it's an aftermarket starter and while I'm
not all that incredibly familiar with mean green starters but have you
ever looked at one? It doesn't look very "factory" to say the least.
Extending the wiring might just be the way it is if you want one of
their starters. That doesn't make it the wrong one. Hell, just about
every after market ignition system in the world requires wiring
modifications of some sort. Does that make them the "wrong" system?

I have been putting in starters since the 60's and have 'never' needed
to modify the wiring to do so. It makes no sense to me...

If I have to jury rig something to get me going, I am the best at making
things work, but to buy new and need to do it, well....
