Needs at least 12.8 volts for a fast start. Multi-meter time.---
The motor turns over as fast as ever, it just needs a fraction of a second more to start to my ear, and something is going. It never failed to start in the recent minus temps we had constantly up here for some weeks. However I agree a good battery can make all the difference, and you may be right The battery is some years old and this may be a factor.
