When I start the engine it dosen't seem to fire until I let off the starter. Is it possible the starter is taking the fire from the ignition? When I take my foot off the starter and the enging is still spinning it will start. [Reply]  [Send Email]

I would bet there is nothing there. If not, something is wired incorrectly. Kent   [Reply]  [Send Email]

I had the same problem with my '48 GMC with a 235 6-volt. The starter was drawing too much current. Rebuilding the starter fixed it.   [Reply]  [Send Email]
