It sounds like a problem I had with the Z. (God forbid) leaky head gasket
and water in one cylinder. But if it runs well and you are not putting
water in it this is probably not the reason.
Let it cool after a hard, hot run, pull the plugs, roll it on the starter
and hope water doesn't come out a plug hole.

Subject: Starter / Compression
Hello,
For the past few years my starter has been acting strange. Sometimes it
crnaks nice but then it started to stall when the motor has been driven for
awhile and it got alittle hot. One of the things that it has done was to
stall out temporarily while cranking. It sounded like it was cranking three
cylinders and then the fourth it would stall or hesitate until it passed
over
that cylinder.
Anyway, I changed the starter to a new unit and it cranks strong but it
still
does that stall / hesitation over one of the cylinders. What would this
mean? Does it have something to do with compression?
Currently, my Roadster is running nice and strong. No problems at all with
the motor.
Any ideas?
