Ive got a earth from the starter to battery but not to the body? Should there be one? As some times its like the battery is flat but then it will start after a couple of turns of the key! Thanks dave

Yeah there should be a earth wire connected to the body right next to the battery.

Isnt it live (+) from battery to starter.

There is also a big 16 mm neutral that go's from the battery to one of the bolts that holds the starter to the gear box.
