Andy,
Agreed with Howard and would add to check not only cables, but their connections to the frame. If the battery to frame connection is loose or dirty at either end, or an undersized or damaged conductor, the result is a voltage drop and current limiter to the engine while cranking and as importantly, back to the battery when charging.

Although I am not familiar with your model, I suspect there is also a frame to engine ground strap, usually the braded wide/thin construction. Check these connections for tightness and cleanliness. Simply, current does not go through air, paint or rust well.

Hope all is well with you and hope to see you again at Hershey this year.
