Writing for a friend with an Arrow that is having a recurring starter
problem. The battery has been charged and tested, everything else checks
out, and there is the right amount of voltage at the starter. It works
once or twice (in a row), then if left overnight, it won't restart (no
response from starter whatsoever). The starter has been replaced three
times with the same result -- starts right up on the first few tries,
but next day, it won't restart.

Anyone else experience this?
Thanks in advance.


Everyone elses responses are reminding me of a problem I had
with my motorcycle once that was somewhat similar. Turned out
to be the ground cable from the battery. Corrosion in one end
crimp allowed some juice to turn on the electrical but once I
hit the starter everything went dark. Push starting would
start the bike and it would run fine.

The battery was not getting recharged but after a while it
would rebuild enough to turn on the basics but would never
turn the starter.
