The original subject was "Case 580 Starting".
Well, Electrically everything checks out. Still starts hard but I have found something I find VERY interesting and I have yet to find an explaination. I can crank it for a long time, see blue smoke start to come out the stack then eventusally it will start. OR I can crank it a little, stop cranking, hit the key again & it starts IMMEDIATELY... Consistent.. Crank 5 seconds, stop cranking for a couple seconds then it will start in 2 seconds of cranking. I started to notice this when my fingers slipped on the key. Now it starts easy if I do this, I just wonder WHY?????? Anybody ever bump into this before?
