Darrell,
The starter does not draw power thru the ammeter, so if the ammeter reads a
huge discharge, it is not the starter itself.
It is something that is activated when turning the ignition switch all the way
to "start". It oculd be the starter solenoid, I suppose. It could be a short
inside the ignition switch. It would seem to have to be something like that.
