Update on the "Hot Starting Problem":

It is now May 2016, and the hot starting issue persists.

I have put a new battery in, a new starter, new solenoid, new plugs, wires, points, condensor, rotor. Cleaned all the battery cables and connections.

She fires right up when cold, and runs great. Take her for a 15 minute drive and turn off the engine, and she barely turns over and does not want to start.

Very frustrating.

Is it possible that an over-charged battery does not have much cranking ability? Do I now assume that I have a bad voltage regulator and spend even more money replacing it? Or is this just throwing more money at the problem?

Anyone ever have this problem before????????


Keep the rusty classics going.
