I did a write-up about the "cables" on my Hawk that run from the battery to the solenoid and from the solenoid to the starter. I had so many problems getting the starter to turn the engine over...what I discovered was the so called "cables" are nothing more than thick wires and they weren't delivering enough power to either the solenoid or the starter. I replaced both with thicker copper cables and its made a big difference.
