Starting issues
Fuel and spark are good.
It starts 8 times out of 10 but generally strands me when I am away from home. It will start to turn over and then come to a crashing stop in the first second or so of kranking it. It almost sounds like it’s hitting something as it’s trying to turn over. It will do the same thing 20 or 30 times and then all of a sudden magically start. It will start if you push start it.
I just put in a new battery which is fully charged. I changed the starter motor a year ago with an oem model from Korea. I also put in a new starter solenoid at the same time.
I checked the starter switch by by passing it and had the same problem. The only other observation is that when it’s having this problem the wires to and from the solenoid get very hot.
I also checked the starter clutch and it is solid in one direction and spins freely in the other direction.
Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you!
