Can someone post a picture showing how the positve battery cable is routed around the engine and attaches to the starter? It was removed prior to me seeing it. Thank you.

It is not connected to the starter it connects to the upper large pole on the starter solenoid. It is located to the left of the starter. There should be one 4 gauge (heavy) yellow wire comming off the bottom pole of the solenoid that is connected to the positive post on the starter. Just above it is the post that you connect the battery + cable to. The battery - cable connects to any of the four mounting bolts on the starter. Be very careful to not swap your + and - cables or you will blow the voltage regulator.

I do have a pic but I'm at work and can't get to it. I will try to remember to post it later this evening.

The lower, large post should have a fat (4 gauge) yellow cable going over to the starter.

The upper large post (show here the the red wire comming off of it) is where your Positive (+) battery cable goes.
