Re: [DMCForum] 5096 Hot-Start

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not aware of a broken piece inside. The original starter motor 
cranks normal when cold. It is after it is warm that it has trouble. Was 
talking to Warren at Houston and he had said that the two different 
speed issue was sounding like the starter. Put a new starter on it, 
fires right up when warm. I've already been thru the whole fuel and air 
intake system.
