Starting (starter?) problems
I'm having a problem getting my 12A w/Weber 45DCOE to start. It's always been hard to start since I got it, taking a LOT of pumping while cranking.
Well, I thought all the cranking had fried my starter, it was kind of grinding and the positive cable gets pretty hot. So I replaced the starter, but it's still doing the same thing. What makes the + battery cable get hot? I thought that meant it was pulling too many amps, but it's new (I know no guarantee it's good.) Could it be a bad (-) battery cable?
Any thoughts on why I'd have to crank/pump so much? It doesn't have the "fuel enrichment device" on it but I've read Webers don't usually really need it.

I would try to clean the surface where the starter meets the trans,and also replace the ground wire from the batt to the body and add a better ground from the engine to the body.
