Battery Leads

I get quite a few customers saying that their 748/916/996's turn slowly on the starter. This can be caused by the leads from the battery to the starter solenioid and from the solenoid to the starter motor. Some leads were made with simple crimped on ends and these seem to create a resistance to the battery power as they corrode. Later leads are soldered and hence don't allow corrosion to occur. They're not expensive and are far easier to change than a starter motor so do them first. This could be a problem on other models but I haven't come across it.
