On the 782Ds, grounds were a problem. With the 782D I had, the negative battery cable went from the battery to the air cleaner bracket, then another ground cable was run from the air cleaner bracket to the engine block (as it came from the factory). The problem with that, not only did more connections increase the resistance in the ground path, but IIRC correctly the air cleaner bracket is bolted to the end plate by the flywheel a rubber isomount pad isolating and insulating the two parts. The 2 bolts don't always make a great connection. I remember my dealer showing me a 782D he was starting up and he just happened to see the throttle cable and fuel shut-off cables glowing red while cranking (not on my 782D however). I ended up putting a battery ground cable on my 782D right from the battery to the engine right where the lifting eye by the water pump is.
