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!

Hi All,

Just thought I would seek the wisdom of the Loops.

When I start my 70 Ambo it starts right up but because the battery is
getting older there is a slight hesitation on the starter when I hit the
starter button. It is almost like the engine starts to turn...hits
maximum
compression and then stops moving for a second and then turns over and
fires
up.

My question is......Am I risking burning something with this starter
getting
hung up? I keep thinking that while my finger is pressed on the starter
button and the engine isn't turning there is something getting hot.

Thanks in advance...Ian
