Slow starter
About two years ago my 1930 Model A Tudor in fine shape with new inserted motor running nice went on the market for $12,500 and had over 2,000 inquiries but only one looker. Heavy on "LOOKER"... I took it off the market, lost interest, ignored it for a few months and then went to start it and the starter had little power. Pulled the starter, checked it out OK, new bushings & brushes, cleaned up the bendix, worked on the bench but it ran slow in the car. Pulled it and took it to somebody who "knew all about starters" plus a real shop who also checked it out OK. Reinstalled it, checked for a good ground, ran jumpers from a good battery, still too slow. Quit working on it for another year.
Got around to it again a couple months ago when son came back to town. Son said put in another NEW 6-VOLT BATTERY, no jumpers.
STARTED FINE RUNS FINE !!!!!
There was never a problem with the starter.
DUHHHH............... AAAAAAAARRGGHHHH
