upon further inspection, a bolt that holds on nothing fell off. so i figured what the hay i'll put one back on. was a ground apparently and it starts normal again. but that still doesnt explain the last 7 times. hmmmm oh well...... life time warrenty

Tell us the name of the store you bought the 7 starters from. We can avoid that place too. You have the "bozo" brand starter.l Go to a local electrical pro, and ask them to build you a heavy duty starter, you will never be happier.

I buy all my electrical parts from Napa, it will cost you a pretty penny but so far I haven't had to replace anything twice that I bought from there.
