[6pack] Ugh. Problems starting. Baffled.

[James_ TR6]

Yea. I think the starter is the problem. 
I cleaned all wires and a jump didn't
Start it. 
So where does one buy the starter you mentioned? I have one big red cable from the battery and three smaller wires. What a pain to change this thing. Be awesome to buy one local instead of ordering. It does weight a ton!
Or maybe people can rebuild these?

Thanks

I know the starter get's a big fat Red cable from the battery and a big fat black cable back to ground. And then there's the fat ground cable from the tranny case back to the battery. I'd check all 3.
