to get a ride going in austin, post in the houston section about a ride to austin for breakfast....
Me and Larry357 heading to Lockhart for dinosaur ribs will post a meet up place for anyone interested when I hear back from Larry357 All I know at this point is we are meeting up one the north end and heading west, he's routing it out tonight
Update: I installed the new battery on loan from David. Same slow labored cranking. I try to post the video over the weekend. No difference. So enough about my battery. I think I sounded defensive about the battery, although I wish it was. Because my starting issues would be figured out if it was.Ken
Ok it doesn't always crank the same slow labored way. As I mentioned when I put the meter on it trying to test it after it had not been starting and drained the battery with my wife's help it started right up, so quick it hadn't started like in a long time. That day, I rode it around Austin doing some errands and it was mostly good starting. Then later on, it starting kicking over a little slower again. That kept my confidence in check so I wouldn't do a little longer ride, a so I went back home instead of pushing my luck.Ken

You can talk about your symptoms all you want but it's not going to fix anything without YOU testing components. You asked for help and you've been given all the suggestions you need to check and verify components to determine what your starting problem is. This thread is up to seven pages now with very little testing data to go on. The real problem is YOUR not following through. All the advise and suggestions in the world will not help you............ if YOU don't follow through and perform the tests that you need to do to find the problem. We can't do the tests for you. If you don't have the time, tools or know how to do the tests...............take it to someone who does.
