Hi All,
A friend just called and was
explaining a problem he has with his 55 Imperial. He said when it is hot
it will barely turn over but after a few really slow revolutions it cranks a
little faster and then starts. He said the car always starts however but he is
wondering why it cranks so hard. I know this subject has been recently
discussed but I don't recall any remedies.
He said he has checked out the
starter himself and also had a Mechanic check it and it seems to be okay.
He has put in new brushes etc. He is thinking of converting the car to 12 volts
but I told him that many members say it isn't necessary and that 6 volts should
work fine.
He told me that when his father owned
the car several years ago it always started
fine but after it got about 35 or 40,000 miles on it was
when the trouble started and has just gotten worse through the
years. Any help would be appreciated. You can email off list if
you like at smt@xxxxxxxxxxx and I will pass
the word along.
