You are correct. Stated that wrong.

I did the normal connection (pos 1st neg 2nd) two times initially without the key in the ignition - starter starts turning over...


...last time when I came in to ask the question here I did just hook and unhook the positive trying to see if key in key out of the ignition made a difference - 95 degree garage and total frustration I guess...

Again, thanks for pointing that out.

Starter turns over either way I connect the battery and with or without key.

Ran great yesterday running errands. Put it up for the night to wake up to a dead battery (warm/very warm to the touch) and a starter that turns over with no key in the ignition with my fully charged spare battery.
