[Vwdiesel] Bunny No Crank

[Bart Wineland]

When I first put the replacement engine in my '89 na I started it a few 
times while it was still on the jack stands.  It started and ran fine. As 
soon as I took it off the stands it would not even begin to crank.  With 
some help from the list I ran a heavy additional ground cable from the 
battery terminal to the transmission and all was well. A connection was 
coming and going This just came up again for someone else. I think I 
remember that my starter would at least click though??
