Is this a battery problem?
I start the model A after it has been sitting in the garage for a week. It starts right up. I drive it to the mall, three miles away, and after the car sits while I am shopping, the battery is down so low I have to use jumper cables to start it. I drive it home, let it sit for three days and it starts. I drive it to the mall........and the story repeats itself. The light switch is in the off position and the lights are not on. Can a starter pull considerably more amps because it gets hot? Car has a Ron Kelly rebuilt engine, Webber downdraft and a fourspeed. It drives beautifully when it starts. Is my battery bad?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Scott
