Slow starter

[Marshall V. Daut]

Yeah, but it didn't do the starter or you any harm to go through it and make sure it was up to snuff. Maybe a frustrating hassle for you, but at least you can cross a weak starter off the list when future problems like this creep up. Oftentimes it is the simplest thing that causes such problems, meaning a new battery solved the slow starter problem. The way batteries are made today, getting two good years out of them is a miracle. And it doesn't seem to matter whether you spend a lot or a little, they still go bad by the third year, if even that long. I have paid close to $200 for a six-volt high visibility name brand battery that didn't last any longer than a $50 no-name battery purchased at a local tractor supply house. What does THAT tell us about getting what you pay for in life anymore??? I think that tried-and-true homily needs to go by the wayside from now on.
