Default Re: Hot engine starting problems on 289

your starter is suffering from heat soak, headers of not. after nine years of service it is about due for replacement. remember that as the insulation on the field coil wires age, it breaks down, and you lose motor capacity. at some point in time, your starter decides to give up completely. you are close to that time.
