Well the saga continues...

It was working fine for a week and now it's doing it again. I tried the ground thing again and tried reattaching the battery cable and it still doesn't work.

I was able to get it started by hooking up the starter to the positive terminal (I had been hooking it to the wrong terminal on the starter). So what does that mean? Neutral safety switch? Not sure why it was working all week.
