Hard Starting

[Julian Solomensky]

Hello Jeffrey,


I had this exact same issue.  A new battery worked for a little bit, but within 2-3 weeks, it began being difficult to start, especially when hot.

How many miles ago were plugs done?  If more than 10-12K, I bet you plugs are shot.  New plugs in mine completely cured the issue.
