Re: KPack's 1954 Panama

Switching gears for a second. I had to shuffle the Panama out of the shop for a work party, and had the hardest time getting it started. Electrical issue. Basically just loud click and nothing, over and over. Battery fully charged. Finally got it started, warmed up, driven, and moved to a different spot. Looked at my new battery cable and noted what looks like burning on the inside.

My assumption is the starter is drawing way too many amps and causing these burns. I plan to rebuild the starter this winter. Am I correct in this assumption?
