The wires at the starter were loose. Most especially the main Positive lead from the battery. Since these wires are located on top of the starter the way they are, I had to drop it to tighten them. The cap on the solenoid broke when I attempted tightening the main lead from the battery.

No and yes.

Did you only touch the wires at the starter

The first would be difficult due to the starter's location. However, I will borrow a tablet and see what can be done.

Other than my work-around to power the coil, yes.
