Not sure this electrical or mechanical.
When I turn my ignition key, nothing really happens, the starter like it goes to turn but doesn't crank fully..
Turn key again & cranks fine.
Wondering if starter on way out, as sounds like it depends what compression the crank it at?

Re: Starter motor doesn't crank then cranks
It could be the ignition switch too, which cause intermittent starter probs. They're a flaky part in my experience. Pull off the wires from the back of the ignition and you can attach a new ignition switch, which you could then test easily..

Mine does something similar, but only when hot and within a couple of minutes of stopping the engine. Leave it any longer and it will start without a problem, otherwise it sounds like a flat battery and struggling to turn it over.

This symptom can be down to timing too far advanced if it happens when engine just been stopped .
Also could be the olite bushing failing and going tight when hot

Re: Starter motor doesn't crank then cranks
OK thanks for the replies, the battery is fully charged, so can't be that I would think.
It's strange as just started doing it, but always starts on the 2nd crank.
