Happy New Year Y'all
I have my dadddy's 1950 TO20 that I have gone through and restored/rebuilt. I did not do anything with the starter except clean it up and repaint it. Anyway I recently started having intermittent problems with no action on the starter when I tried to start it. I have voltage to the starter and when I try to start it the positive(12v system) cable gets very hot. I ohmed between the post on the starter and the case, with the cable disconnected, and it read continuity, .3 ohms. I suspect that this is a dead short, which would explain the hot cable. Any ideas on how to proceed.
