I only get to drive my '63 Avanti R1 once every several months, so to start it generally requires priming the carburetor bowls and jumping it from a good battery. That usually does the trick.
Once I return from a drive (20 or 30 minutes) and park it, it will restart immediately. However, if if sits even a few minutes, the starter turns very slowly, and after a few cranks, there's not enough power to turn it over. The heat gauge doesn't show anything unusual, although I've never checked its accuracy.
Anyone else have this problem? Any troubleshooting help greatly appreciated!
