Hot Start problem

[eatcustard]

When engine is cold, it fires up on the button

When I switch off engine and try to start again, it stuggles, just like a flat battery.
Leave it 10 mins and it fire up on the button again

Battery is fully charged and holding charge so its not that, connections to battery are tight so OK there

Where else can I look

Usual culprit seems to be the bush in the gearbox housing...........

Dont think its that, as it does turn the engine,
but very slow

Thanks for the info

Thats a symptom of a worn starter bush.........once it cools down, ie contracts,it frees the pinion enuff to let it spin faster.....

change the bush, it only costs a coupla quid and will sort your problem
