86 K5 won't start after warming up.
starts and runs fine until it is up to operating temp, then for no reason won't turn over. lights and radio work and it doesn't happen every time either. I am able to do the screwdriver to the coil trick to get it running and then it seems like when it cools down , works fine again. please help, thanks

starter solenoid might be going bad. Also check the battery ground.

Is the timing set properly? I have my timing advanced pretty far on my K5 and it will turn over slow when trying to start it hot. But it always starts.
Is the starter original? Could be a weak starter. |
Have the Battery checked.
My 86 was doing the same thing when I first got it fom my nephew. He said the battery was fairly new. brought into Shucks to test and sure enough it had a dead cell. Good news was I got a free replacement under warranty. Good luck. |

Turn it off while cranking then switch on while cranking. It will cure the slugish start from to much timing. |

An easy fix for this is to install an ignition interupt switch(kill switch).
