I have one further thought....As time went on, my battery cables corroded inside. While they still made connection, their internal resistance went up and they could not carry the current efficiently. Replacing these made the machine start like new again. Make sure you check, not only the point to point connections, but wire resistance as well.
Yes, I agree with this 100%. I hadn't seen it a lot, but I remember a whipped Audi 5000 that came to my shop for faulty charging system issues. It eventually turned out to be a bad ground cable, after a nightmare troubleshooting the battery, etc. the cable crapped out internally and would not function as the path to ground. Then I saw the exact same thing on a friend of mine's boat. Same dead ground cable wires shot internally. It's not as uncommon as one might think, so I make a habit now of starting there to eliminate what can easily get missed and drive one crazy.:confused2:
