My 1020 doesn't always want to start after it has been worked awhile. The start issue is because it won't turn over. It has all of the earmarks of a bad/low power battery. But . . .
* Battery is good. 12.7 volts. Load tested.
* All connections have been cleaned
* It cranks and starts just fine from cold
* There is a Battery Minder on the battery when in the barn
Worked it yesterday. Parked it outside. Went to put it in 1 hour later. Just a grunt/click from the starter. Battery charged for 2 hours just in case. Just a grunt/click. Left it out overnight (no charger). Started right up this morning.
It has done this off and on for several years. I'm getting tired of not being able to count on it starting. Any ideas?
Bad spot in the starter? Weak starter?
