I have recently come into possession of a long time good friends 1986 X 1/9 (Bertone). Sadly he was in poor health at the time and has since passed away and his knowledge went with him about the car. The current issue preventing me from making this car road legal: After the car has been driven at least 6 miles, if the car is turned off it will not restart for 30 - 40 minutes (or longer depending on outside temperatures). At cold the car starts with out fail. The battery is brand new. I am not very good with cars and any help would be very much appreciated, please dumb it down due to my lack of car knowledge. I have as of this weekend removed the starter and plan to have it "bench" tested. I fear they will find nothing wrong unless they have a way to get the starter up to the temperatures seen when this failure occurs.
Note: The failure is the starter does not operate after car has been driven, no "click" no nothing, panel lights on dash are present. Car can be roll started under these conditions....
