Weather here was beautiful today (mid-70s), so I took my '47 out for a spin.
Stopped at the grocery store, and when I returned to my truck, it wouldn't
start. Acted like the battery was run down. Nothing but a low, slow growl
when I hit the starter. I pushed it off and it ran great.....as always.
('56 235 engine.) I only left it sitting for about 20 minutes, and I know
the ignition was turned off. Now it cranks great, even after sitting for an
hour or more. The same thing happened to me about a year and a half ago,
but hasn't happened again until today. Any idea what might be causing this?
Battery seems to be fine. Can't find any wires that look suspicious. Any
suggestions??
Thanks!
