George, 

It is so hard to help from a distance, but I believe you will find that your
starter is in need of rebuilding, and that a rebuild will cure your starting
problems with the Pro-jection.

In regard to 4 ga. vs. 2 ga. or larger, I think you're OK with the 4 if the
starter is in good shape. Actually, because it was available at the time, I
have 00 ga. on part of my circuitry, and that is really overkill. Looks
impressive, however.

I think you're about to lick this thing.

John
