I think he said he has a WM300. Didn't they have the starter solenoid? He said he turned the key and it cranked the first time-- that tells me he has a starter solenoid, not the foot starter that manually engages the starter AND pushs the starter switch. Lots of current on that starter switch that mounts on the starter. IF his has a solenoid starter, then only a small wire from ignition switch to solenoid to ground. That is probably where he has a wire misconnected.
