Then again, that wouldn't explain why it's stalling out after it starts. unless it's then getting full power and it "rests"?? God, I feel like I'm talking out of my ass
If you do the test of running dedicated wires to the battery and it works, verify that it's not because it needs both. If it does need both I would run a wire to the junction block and then from the block to the starter.
Oh man...swamp already said what I just said....even the bit about not being an electrical engineer.....
