When I had a similar problem it turned out to be a bad battery cable. Make sure
the ground is good (Ground to a starter bolt is best)and cables aren't frayed
inside the shielding, from vibration. Also insure good clean battery posts.

Subject: [oletrucks] starting problem
just wondering if anyone could help. my 54 3100 has the 235 and foot
operated starter. yesterday i hit the pedal and it started to turn and
died. then it would either do nothing or the rrrrruuuuhhh and quit. i
thought that it could be a mis-adjusted linkage and used a large screwdriver
to push the linkage into the plunger and still nothing. i was wondering if
it is the starter switch or the motor. any help would be greatly
appreciated.
