Interesting Keith....especially with you having the larger battery.
What I am thinking is that the engine stops at near TDC where the
compression is max. More work required to get it over the top but once it
does there there is some inertia built up and the battery can handle the
rotation through the next compression cycle.
Another thought.....maybe the starter solenoid needs to be excited? I am no
expert but sometimes when the engine stops rotating and I am still holding
the starter button I can hear a little high pitched sound. I wonder what
that is?
Regards....Ian

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!
