Sometimes, fairly often, the starter motor turns over slowly and may (or may not) speed up after a second or so. The engine starts. 30 seconds later, it may fire right up.
Doesn't seem to matter if the engine is warm or cold. The starter has one of McMarks magical relays. I've checked the grounds and the wiring - all is tight. So the ignition switch seems to be the last optin. Anyone seen this before? thanks, |

Classic sign of starter armature being dirty or glazed. Probably time for a starter refresh.
