Hi JR,

Still can't get on VV but they are working on it.
On my original 65 I had one lose wire break off the armature inside my
starter motor that when it stopped in a certain position it would ground
against the case and drain the battery.  It happen so seldom that I had
a heck of a time finding it and would disconnect the battery every time
I stopped and check for arc at the terminal.  When I finally had it
happened I traced it to the starter winding having that one broken wire,
replaced starter, no more problems.

Regards,

Guy
