hard starting Super A

Posted by john koritansky on January 22, 2004 at 05:40:29 from (143.206.81.61):

My Super A runs fine, no smoke, no misses. However, in temperatures below about 35 it does not want to start with the starter motor, even though the starter motor does turn the engine over pretty vigorously. If I crank it by hand, it starts right up. Also, once in a while, just as I am letting go of the rod that attaches to the starter button and as the engine is still truning, it will fire and start. It's as if I don't quite have the amps to run the starter motor and still fire the engine. The battery is up; I've installed a new 6-volt alternator which works great. I put in new plugs, and new distributor wires. I haven't changed the points or condensor. What's likely to be the problem? Do I need a tune up kit? Or is my starter motor weak? Leaking current? It's kinda cold arround here to be cranking by hand! I'ld appreciate any advice/guesses.
