Well, I always look at the ground  cables too.  Once it was the problem and
after I made a nice clean and flat ground for the cleaned up cable
connection, it was working.  You know this is just one of the few thing one
looks at.  Can you start the engine with the shortening of the cables at the
starter?  If it starts there, then it is further in the front where you
would look for trouble.  But if it does not, it is either the ground or the
starter is still not good.  You can check the voltage at the starter too.
Not that it makes a lot of difference if the ground cables are not passing
the juice on.  It would still give you high voltage, unless you check it
under load while someone turns the ignition for you.  Not a real safe
procedure...   Logic says; it has to have not only enough voltage but enough
juice too to turn the whole engineering there inside.  So you have to check
for it.  And if its not there find where it is shut off of have a
bottleneck.  I know easy to talk.
