Corrosion in a wire connection someplace? -
i replaced the wires from the batt to solenoid and to the starter with new ones - no need for oem, any auto electrician can do that for you
cleaned all the contacts and with some dielectric grease it's all good now

remove wire that you wiggle to get it working. measure it and go to walmart or any auto parts store or a lawn mower shop. they will have a wire the size you need. worse case you will need to buy one longer and a end to crimp on.Comment

Your problem could be the crimped connector is not snug on the wire or the bolt/nut that is holding the connector to another component is not tight. Take another look at the wire you are wiggling to see if the connector is sliding around where it should be tight. If it is not moving, it's likely the crimp.

you will find it
Kraz,
Well, depending on if you are just trying to get it started, or if you are trying to determine more specifically where the problem is: Next time it will not start: Try wiggling just one wire at a time, not wires, better yet, try just wiggling one end of one wire at a time then try starting it. Maybe can better idnentify witch connection is bad. That will give you some good idea of which wire it is that needs some attention.
Or maybe you can look for some wire that is suspect, connection that seems loose or wiggles, or has corrosion.
WHich wires are these anyway? The thick wires (from battery to solenoid to starter or battery to to ground)?
You will find this problem and be riding.
I will be raking leaves and scrapping frost off my car.
