It's been sitting for a couple of years, so in a way...yes.
I paid close attention to the battery cables. I made these cables myself and they have always worked good. 3/4" braid on the neg side to the frame and 3/4" on the pos side. Beefy.
I'm pretty sure the starter will turn if I jump the + to the starter terminal. That's how I bench tested the starter. Darn near jumped off the bench.
