starter question

[sharpshooter33 at adelphia.net (David Brown)]

I replaced a starter thinking it was bad and it turned out to be a bad 
ground wire instead.  Try hooking up the ground from the battery to the the 
block with jumper cables and see if she turns over stronger.  That's my new 
test on any problem starters now. 8-)
