I've recently having more and more difficulty cold-starting my 67 s.5 alpine.
When cold, it has always started on the third crank (e.g., I crank it 3-4
times, repeat, then its has always started on third time). Recently, I lose
too much cranking power by the third time.
I just moved from L.A. to N.J. near NYC and its getting much colder.
Thinking that the oil's viscocity may be too high, I changed over to 10W-30.
Am I on the right track? Is 10W-30 o.k.? Should I consider synthetic oil?
slick 50?
My battery is about 6 months old, the starter about 2 years old. Would
appreciate any comments.
B.T.W., I have 4000 miles so far on rebuild by British .... in Santa Monica.
Very solid & professional service. highly recommended.
