Hard starting Flathead V8 Ford
I already posted the car on another site so I don’t want to get into double posting. It is a1950 Ford; I bought the car with a 6volt system new battery 940 cold cranking amps. If it doesn’t fire right away something pulls the battery down to where it won’t even turn over. I like the car but I thought I was finished pushing cars, I'm too old to start pushing again. Could it be the starter, solenoid or what? I want to keep the car but I would like to be able to it shut off, and know I can drive it home. The other day I took it for a police check since it was from out of state, the policer office wanted to hear it run but it wouldn’t start. Any help would be appreciated.
Side note I don't know if it's my computer or if this site has been going down alot lately. I tried to post this earlier and when I hit submit the site went down.
