Well, my ole 1953 3100 w/original 216 is running & starting better than ever. It is strong, idles perfect and runs like a champ. Starts strong when cold in about 1-2 seconds. That is the good news.
Bad news - when engine is warm, even slightly (running 3 mins or 30mins) if I turn the key and try to restart, the starter sounds like it is dying and has no juice. Problem is if I leave it off for about 10 mins, starts up like a champ with full power. The starter is new, coil new, Optima 6V battery new, new 6V really heavy cables, good grounds, etc.
Someone mentioned before on the difficulty with starting an engine when warm due to the internal engine components expand and makes it harder to turn. Can someone explain this? Still sounds electrical to me, but I don't know what else to check. How do I test for this? I cannot imagine what else it could be at this point.
Thanks so much for the support!!!
Andy
