Never measured one, but I would guess a starter would draw in the 100 - 200 amp range. Bigger cables are better. Six volt starters draw more current than 12 volt starters, so cables made for a 6 volt system would be heavier.

One quick way to find the immediate problem is to crank the engine for a minute or two & then feel the various connections. A poor connection or a cable that's too small will get hot.

Good luck,

Keith

Another thing that may help is to loosen the clamps holding the cables to the terminal ends
