What you mean takes to long to turn over . How long does it take to start. Does it turn slowly over , or crank really good .

My motor takes to long to turn over. It seems like the starter is running longer than it should to get the motor started.

So does it have a problem turning over (the starter moving the engine), or does it have a problem starting up?

when the last time you replaced the plugs. wires, dist cap, rotor, fuel filter, stuff like that? sounds like a bad tune.

I'm in the process of chaning spark plugs right now, have half of them replaced. It only takes a while to start up when it's cold.
