Starter, or Bendex

[larrball]

Hey guys i have a cold starter question for ya.

When its cold my starter seems to not catch, until about 2-3 times a try tell it catches. (the drill sound effect)
This only happens when its cold (40 deg or less) and it will catch after 2-3 paus'es of the starter until it catches.

At first i thought it could be the bendiex spring but i'd like to know what you all thank.

Battery lose some of its juice from the cold?

Sounds like the bendix to me. Since it only happens when it's cold, you could try to put the battery on a charger for a while before starting it when it's cold. That would tell you if the battery had anything to do with it.

Degrease bendix and lubricate with a light oil. Lubricant is too thick and not allowing for free enough operation of your bendix when temps are low.

I was thinking what ^^^^Step said. Clean it up and lube it.
