Thanks for the advise. I won't send a picture of the crap that fell out. The battery is in, but I think I need a new + battery cable (corroded at the battery terminal). Do I pop off the left side metal assembly to install a new positive battery cable back to the starter? Does it go through a grommet or something else to get back to the starter? Do I need a new grommet or whatever is there?
Thanks a lot from Jeff in Boring (the cosmic joke) Oregon
