RE: {Chrysler 300} Slow starting when the engine is hot

Replace your battery cables.  Positive to starter is obvious highly corroded INSIDE of cable.  Common on '59 and later MoPars.

First thing to do is figure out what is wrong. Slow crank is a symptom. I would want to know, for example, what the starter current draw is during this slow, hot crank episode. A tired battery can crank well cold and slow hot. I once changed a starter because of it. I said “heck, has to be the starter” but it wasn’t. The new starter behaved the same way. The battery was spitting the bit when hot. Have the battery load tested, after you determine that the cables are clean and tight, before you change the starter.

 

Also, check your timing to be sure it’s not too far ahead and fighting the starter.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Slow starting when the engine is hot

 

my 1960 Chrysler starts easily when cold, but when the motor is up to full running temperature and the engine is turned off and then I try to start it again, the starter spins slowly and I am unable to get the car started. Is there a recommendation for a high torque low geared starter to solve this issue?
