When I hit the starter pedal sometimes it hesitates before turning the engine over, the next time it turns just fine. It has never failed me but sometimes it puts a great deal of doubt in your mind. Is this normal or should I be getting it checked?

It may be developing some problems in the windings or the armature. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!
