Also ignition timing too far advanced.
Not sure what size the cable is but it's pretty large, will go see if I can find any markings on it. Both the cable and the battery were replaced around 2-3 years ago. A little elaboration on the hard starting problem, it barely turns over when very warm, maybe once a second for the first 4 revolutions, then it picks up speed. And eventually fires.
