Hello Guys,
I am having issues starting my 65 Coupe. Car has been recently restored, but doesn't get driven much, about once a week 15-20 miles. It's a high compression 302 engine, battery is located in the trunk. I keep the battery charged with a battery tender. If the car hasn't been started for a couple of days, when I turn the ignition switch the gauge lights come on, but the starter does not turn......nothing. I try again, maybe nothing, often on the third or fourth try...it turns and I'm able to start it. I go for a ride, come home, turn the ignition off, turn it back on.....it starts........repeat....it starts. Turn it off.......come back an hour later, it starts.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Can anyone suggest where i would start trouble shooting this?
Thanks in advance
