900 8v dies right after starting

Hi all
I have an 82 900 8 valve with 265k on it. yeah I know. It was running well, until after I popped the hood and checked fluids. I didn't change any parts. Now, no matter how much clutch/gas I give it, the engine turns over but dies within 1 second of starting. I noticed the negative battery cable is pretty frayed, but it was fine before. My question to anyone who could help is, would replacing the battery cable be a logical fix, or is there likely something else going on?
thanks so much
Paul
