Subject:Hot starting fix for '85?
From:W. Silva
Date:Mon, 6 Jul 1998 07:30:01 -0400

I have searched the archives and can't seem to come up with the "Muir" fix
for problems starting when engine is hot.  Symptoms, starts fine cold, when
restarting after driving for an hour or so (hot but not overheated engine)
the starter barely turnes over but it does catch-sounds like a dying
battery but battery is new, alt. output checks OK.

I understand that there is a known problem that fits this discription and
possibley a "kit" to fix it.  Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
