What Charles said. I have a bosch starter, which turns fast in any temp. Still need to get off my ass and wire in the relay tho'. Ciao! Chris in NC '74 Eldo

Hi Pete,
My '69 Ambo cranks slowly when cold as well. Cranks just fine when warm or ambient temperature is in the 80s +. Do you have the Marelli starter? I figure it's the nature of this starter to crank this way. Mine also has no starter relay, so the button is taking the full brunt of the juice to the starter. I plan on wiring one in soon and suspect this will help starting. Cheers,
Charlie

Hi List
Just began taking the 71 out for the first time this weekend. It seems to crank slowly but steadily when cold and then fire and run |
OK.
| When I shut it down or when I stalled it, and try to crank again, it |
just
| kind of bogs down and if I hold the button a bit it finally turns over |
and
| fires. It definitely cranks much differently cold than hot. The specific gravity is OK according to the gage. I am using one of those |
lawn
| and garden tractor batteries, the 275 AMP version. This gives me NO |
sense
| of trust in the starting system.
I can buy one size heavier amp rating battery, but thought I'd ask you |
guys
| if its a case of marginal battery and hot cranking always is harder than cold. ( I figure it should be the other way around) . Other than that, tomorrow I go for the official license plate so I |
dont
| have to borrow the one off the Wing. The Guz is a nice riding machine. Very nimble compared to my floorboard dragging barge. Thanks for any tips Pete |
