irty minutes after landing.<br>
The engine will turn to it's first compression stroke then stop. After thr=
ee or four try's I'll just have to<br>
wait thirty minutes, then the engine will turnover and start within one or=
 two power stroke/s.<br>
This is annoying if you just want to make a quick fuel stop. <BR clear=3Da=

I have replaced the Concord 35x with an Odyssey PC1200MJT 40AH battery 120=
0 Amp. starting current<br>
with the same result.&nbsp; I have placed another Odyssey 960 battery behi=
nd the rear left seat, and wired it<br>
so it parallels the front battery when the starter is engaged, still same=
 problem. A year or so ago, some<br>
one on the reflector suggested replacing the starter with a ford part numb=
er. I did that, still same problem.<br>
<br>
The plane was originally wired with #2 wire, all connectors were power cri=
mped, the connectors to and<br>
from the contractors are cleaned, treated and re tightened at each annual.=
 I realize that the Franklin has<br>
10.5:1 compression and when hot, can actually be slightly more, but my BMW=
 M5 engine is also 10.5:1<br>
compression and the same battery spins the engine very fast hot or cold.=
 Could the problem be that the<br>
starter is being heat soaked, which reduces it's efficiency?&nbsp; Is anyo=
ne else experiencing this problem?<br>
<br>
BTW:&nbsp; I tried a Skytek starter which broke on the first start. it wen=
t into the garbage. <br>
