Ross, If I read you post correctly when you say, "Battery is good-got juice to the switch, but when I connect the negative battery cable post on the switch directly to the post that has the cable to go to the starter, nothing happens." Then you are not even getting any sparks when you bypass the starter switch and hook the battery directly to the starter. Correct?!? That means one of a few things all of which mean you do not have a complete circuit from the battery thru the starter back thru the engine/frame/ground to the other terminal of the battery. Worst case will be bad starter. But lets check the easy things first. You said, "got juice to the switch" so I hope you mean you have a volt meter or other way of detecting voltage. See if you get voltage from the HOT battery cable to the frame of the starter. If no, then that is your problem (I hope and not more) and you need to try connecting the ground battery cable to the starter mounting bolt and recheck. If yes, there is voltage - i.e. the frame is grounded, then check to see if there is voltage from the battery HOT to the terminal on the starter - that goes to the starter switch. The starter should look like a dead short to the voltmeter so you should see 6V. If not - ouch! OH yea, do like Tom says, GET rid of that small cable!!! I could go on and on but would rather see what you find from my description so far. GOOD LUCK!
Regards,
Larry
