Hot restart issues.

C'back still not getting it........
THE BATTERY IS DISCHRGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, 12.2v might be enough to crank the engine when cold. Factors such as the CCA rating of the battery, how old it is, etc play a part in how much reserve the bat has left. And yes, too much timing might make it slow to crank when hot.

BUT YOU TRY A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY FIRST BEFORE PULLING OUT TIMING BECAUSE THAT IS THE LOGICAL THING TO DO.
