Good morning.
I recently purchased a Cub Cadet 1650 with the stock Kohler 341. The problem was that the engine was cranking very slowly. After Googling the problem, I read that the problem could be with the ground. So, to test it - I used a jumper cable and connected one end to the negative of the battery and the other end to one of the mounting bolts of the starter / alternator - voila! It began to crank just fine.
The same person who posted that the problem could be with the ground said to run a wire from one of the mounting bolts of the starter to the frame. My question to you is - what is the best way to do that - so use an existing bolt on the frame or drill a hole for a new one? Also, what size / type of a cable?
Thanks for your time!
