Default 31 SS Ignition Question

Hey Guys:

2007 31SS twin 496HO's, port engine when I turn the key will barely crank over, when I return the key to the off position and wait a few seconds then retry it fires right up strong. I have load tested the batteries and they are strong any ideas ?

Thanks,

Steve

Sounds like a possible starter problem... Have you tested the draw when the problem occurs vs. when it starts ok?

Starter is likely on the way out. Check the voltage drops on the cables, check the connections before you buy a starter.
