I have a 51 3604 with a 235 and six volt system. It starts great when cold, but when it is warm and I shut it off it will barely turn over when I go to restart it. It seems to me that the battery is good as it starts the first time. Do I have a bad starter, or are there other things I need to look at?

Thanks for the help!

Lew, You need larger battery cables. Check out this thread..

The subject is about 12 volt conversion, but the info applies to checking out your 6 volt system.
