Answer
Don't know why your starter bolts would be loose?  Did someone have the bracket off to work on the exhaust system?  Remember that's how your starter gets grounded. I sometimes put a drop of blue loctite on each starter mounting bolt and make sure the star lockwasher cuts through the paint also for a good ground.
