[Shotimes] Starting Issues

[Kirk Doucette]

I found it guys.. Believe it or not the timing belt jumped!  We did look
quickly the other night and though all was good. (used motor I installed for
someone) was running just a week or so before the transplant.. Very
weird....

Cant believe it made the starter do what it did but oh well.

Thanks for the help on and off list..

Correct but I don't think the grade of gas will slow down the cranking
speed.  Either the starter has internal problems, the starter is not getting
enough current due to a bad connection or a weak battery or the oil is too
thick.
