its been a while since I worked on a cub,first as I understand it you left switch on and ran down battery,might have burnt up points too.charging the battery will have no effect on starter,anytime!.but you did charge with a 50 amp charger,this is a no-no dont ever charge a battery at fifty amps,so called quick chargers have burnt up more batteries than any other thing,if you dont have time to wait for battery to charge, boost it only off high amp charger..as for point two,amp meter will not show a discharge unless points are closed with no other loads.your points are quite possibly burnt up from originally leaving switch on.. point three,if its positive ground you will see 6v at starter terminal(on starter)any time you check from block to post.point 4,wont help your problem one little bit,unless of course you were haveing a problem before this..want to know what your problem most likely is? clean your battery posts! dont matter if they LOOKED clean,new batteries have a film on the posts to keep them from corroding and even the slightest amount of corrosion will make them loose contact.every thing you say you have done ,besides burning up your battery, points to this.GUESS WHAT! when your amp guage went down and back up it lost contact with your battery post right then! one spark and you lost it,try it and see if it doesnt help!
