Some good knowledge on this subject, Thank you.
I should mention that after running for roughly 15 minutes and I shut the engine off it won't turn over using the starter button. I took the spark plugs out and it turns over good using the start button. Also could turn over using a hand wrench very easy. Is it possible to have too much compression when trying to start with a hot engine with the spark plugs in ?
I'm really thinking it's a electrical issue, too much resistance in wire or connections.Note, it is a new starter.
Next step will be removing the starter and cleaning all connections.
Most likely can't do till next week.
