hard cranking prob.

[meck@hutton.net (Jon Meckem)]

Can I get some possible causes for a hard cranking problem, it almost seems
like the timing is off.  Whether the engine is hot or cold it does not seem
to want to turn over, after a couple of cranks it starts spining normally.
Something else that has started with this problem is the engine will not
fire until I release the key from the starter position, it can crank crank
crank and the second I release the key the engine fires up.  This just
started and I was wondering if this is prelude to something else breaking.

Fix one thing and two break.
