Heres my fix
So my new to me 18 wouldn't start off the button cold. My friend had the cable and cdi done to no avail along with a 240cca battery . I tested and saw no spark during cranking. So I ran a 6 gauge car cable with 1/4 lugs from solenoid to starter 8gauge from battery to solenoid . Used old starter wire as a secondary ground from battery to starter bracket bolt. Cranked her and spark galore . Fired right up again and again. Those factory wires could not supply enough current and probably caused starter damage to some. $4 for the lugs and $6 worth of starter cable. I'll let you know if anything changes . But I'd recommend this to anyone still running the stock cables even if your starters working, $10 well spent to prevent future starter wear . Good luck
