As described! What is up with this situation? Engine runs beautiful when warmed up, will restart no problem if It has been shut off for even a few hours. Kudos to the battery and starter as I have tried to start it normally when it has been sitting for a few days, won't catch, thank goodness I live on a hill, coast down the hill a bit, put her in 3rd gear pop the clutch and vrooom! Have done this 6 times now!

So is this the opposite of the hot start issue? Starter works but not firing cold?

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Jul 1 2017, 10:27 AM)  So is this the opposite of the hot start issue? Starter works but not firing cold? Battery is awesome, starter works great, I can crank her over til the battery dies which I don't do! I always try to start it normally, so instead of burning out the starter or draining the battery too much I coast down the hill, put her in 3rd, polo the clutch and vroom! Then I let her warm up, charging system works great by the way, and once she is warmed up easy to restart with a simple turn of the key. Engine runs real nice when warm, so thanks for the choice of battery you chose for me Mark and I am happy with the job you did on my engine. This starting thing has me and my friend who is a mechanic puzzled, any ideas from you will be most helpful. Ian |
