   hi everyone first post
   
   just bought myself a nice orginal tplate vtr with only 69000 miles and almost mint condition
   
   only have one small prob its a bit of a shit bag for starting its always started but its almost the 3rd turn of the key everytime once started it runs sweet but if its been of for say 10 mins it takes a few turns to start i know its prob something very simple ive changed the plugs and that didnt work
   
   any ideas please

   When my crank sensor first started playing up it was similar to this. Would take a few turns before it would fire. Might be completely unrelated though!
