Starting a hot engine

[JGRacing]

Is it normal for these engines not to want to fire up when they are hot?  I had to idle for awhile in the pits waiting to go onto the track for practice, and when I stalled it (geting adjusted to the clutch it did not want to turn back over.  Should I be taking a look at my battery and starter, or is this normal?  The wrecker driver was a little confused when he went to push start me and my bumper was 6 inches lower than his.  I think I owe a few people beers for push starting me by hand.

any thing from loose ground to bad starter. pull off starter see if it it hard to turn. check all connections. from battery to starter. the time it happen to me it was a loose ground on the hold down battery bolt.  Run a sep ground to the motor case

Make sure to check the connections to the starter solenoid, have had issues there before myself, heat shouldnt be an issue though

After checking all of your electrical connections and making sure the battery is good; then I would say it is time for a new starter. The field coil(s) within the starter build resistance as they get hot and more resistance as they age.

Good Luck, Randy
