Uhhh, It's not that it's hesitating - it's not operating/starting/spinning at all. This is a 100% starter motor thing in my case, I think. The motor just won't even begin to engage or operate when hot. Once I get the motor turned over 1/2 a turn, it starts right up and runs great. Getting it turned over by the starter after a hot run is the challenge. -K --- dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Quoting kenyon wills <imperialist60@xxxxxxxxx>: > > > I replaced the starter in my 1973 with a chain parts-store "heavy > duty" > > unit. -Lifetime warranty! > > > > K: I have a similar symptom in my 68 Sedan.
