Re: [T3] Hard Starting (6V) (kinda long)

>>..hard starting problem......
Symptoms:
1. Will turn over strong(for a 6V system) two or three times.  Maybe 5
seconds or so each.  Then won't turn over again.  Will occasionally turn
over again after letting it sit for a few hours, but only once or
twice.<<

I had a similar problem on my similar car (6v 1965 Square) after
applying POR 15 to my pan. Didn't you say you'd recently done the same?
Anyway, my problem was the battery ground strap to the pan. If you
applied any POR 15 in the battery tray area with the strap removed you
might want to double check that the connection is clean. Solved the
problem for me.

I also have a Ford relay wired in, which solved a previous starting
problem that I had originally suspected was a bad ignition switch. I
have a feeling your problem is something other than resistance though.
