Hi JD22, Sorry but did not read your last post well before replying. But if you got the engine running then obviously it is ok.
On the starter circuit. If the pos cable got hotter than normal hi amps) then both the ground and hot side of the circuit are ok.
Same current values flow through pos and gnd side at the same time. At higher than normal amperage flow in no way can one side be ok if the other side goes south.
Yup, since the starter uses more current than anything else it is always best to have your gnd cable go direct to the starter as possible.
Check your starter armature to see if is rubbing on-field pole shoes.
