Not really unless they get into the feet long instead of inch's , just a cost thing that's all .

Sounds like the same issue I had on my stock 80ci. Turned out to be a crappy (new) ACCELL soenoid. The contact washer inside the solenoid is made of some kind of material only the Chinese government knows of. I replaced it with a copper washer and now it cranks like new. If you're smoking cables and the starter is struggling check that washer out and see if its burned and trying to weld itself onto the copper terminal contacts. If so replace it with a quality copper one, it's a cheap fix if that turns out to be your problem.

Well for one I can't find a proper copper washer anywhere... :0(. I have used a screwdriver to jump the solenoid, and it doesn't change the pace of the cranking. I pulled the All ***** starter I put in and one of the wires to the field coils on one side was broken. I'm saudering it together now, and I'll reinstall it. Brand new starter... I'll let u know if that fixes it
