Still have the problem (posted 1 yr. ago). Happens very rarely, and a short wait will usually enable starting. But, quite puzzling, nonetheless.



Things I have considered:



1. Point plate sticking in full advanced position? (both my distributors perform perfectly on the road, and problem not limited to either).

2. Failing starter solenoid? (fairly new part, and if it WAS failing, why does it function perfectly 99+% of the time?).

3. Worn starter? (also occurs with fresh rebuilt unit).

4. Bad battery/cable connections? (then why does it crank like gangbusters 99+% of the time?).



Any new ideas?
