I own a '52 barchetta (pre-facelift, 3rd brakelight). Sometimes it starts first time, other times it takes 3 or 4 (sometimes 5 or 6) attempts to start. When cranking, the headlights dim and radio turns off. It has never failed to start (yet). It's had a new battery, starter motor, crank sensor, and throttle body within the last year, but still the problem persists.
This is the 3rd barchetta I've owned and is the only one to have this problem. Anyone got any ideas what might be causing the problem, or what to try next? It's been regularly serviced (just had full service with new plugs and filters), and once started it runs fine.
TIA.
