thanks for the response.

i've got an invoice for work done in august of last year, that shows a new starter and starter drive were installed to the tune of $388 for the starter and $151 for the drive, plus $131 for labor. so i have to assume it's good. but then again...well, you know.

the invoice states "STARTER 6V NEW 3103N". i've seen such an item advertised for sale on the net as "brand new". and so it may be, IDK.

unless i hear something to the contrary i will approach the starter hesitation problem as an inadequate ground issue. which is part of the reason i will be changing out the battery cables first thing.
