That's the way my engine starts. It almost sounds like a suflated
battery (bad cell or two) but I have tried no less than three known
good batteries. I have cleaned and checked all the connections save
one. Today I will remove the starter completely and make sure there is
a good ground between it and the engine block. Other than that I can't
think of anything else I have missed unless there are bad winds in the
starter itself. It really sounds like some kind of bad connection/wind
as once the heat has built up, the thing spins like it is supposed to,
but only after a second or so delay... Any ideas, suggestions??
