Hey Ian,
I would love to know the answer to this one as I have the EXACT SAME
PROBLEM! Just what is causing this hangup?? I just installed that
bigger battery to get more cca's, but it still has that hesitation like
yours. Only exception is that my starter will smoke if I hold the
starter button down too long if it is hanging up! Mechanic figured it
was just not enough juice coming from the old 28 cca battery I had, but
the 500cca battery does the same, though the hesitation isn't as long.
Keep me posted on this one!
Thanx!

| Hi All, Just thought I would seek the wisdom of the Loops. When I start my 70 Ambo it starts right up but because the battery is getting older there is a slight hesitation on the starter when I hit the starter button. It is almost like the engine starts to turn...hits maximum compression and then stops moving for a second and then turns over and fires up. My question is......Am I risking burning something with this starter getting hung up? I keep thinking that while my finger is pressed on the starter button and the engine isn't turning there is something getting hot. Thanks in advance...Ian |
