[Farmall] 53 Chevy pickup

[Richard BROWN]

6 volt.  I believe the cables are adequate, but I will show your post to my mechanic.  Thank you.  Rich Brown

  Is it 6 volt or 12? How heavy are your cables? If it is 6 volt you need pretty heavy cables or you get too much voltage drop.

  Looking for ideas about my wonderful '53 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with 235 engine:  
  When the engine gets hot, it does not want to start.  If I hook up my battery 
  booster to it, it turns over very fast and starts.  It has a new battery.  

  Why does it NOT turn over fast enough to start when hot?  While running, it runs 
  like a top, has tons of power.  I've had the starter rebuilt, the carburetor 
  rebuilt, electric fuel pump installed, but it still needs a boost when hot.
