Real hard starting--- and service light 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Larry on  Wed Dec 31 10:50 CST 2003 [RELATED]

On w occasions I have been almost unable to start my 1994 850. Both times I just had to crank away, trying not to overheat the starter, an little by little it sputtered to life. Once running I have no problems. Starts right up the next time./ What could this be caused by? thanks, Larry
One time this happened during warm weather, and once during freezing weather. I put gas line antifreeze in the tank the second time.

The service light has recently come on , apparently unrelated to the dard starting episodes. Is this just a periodic thing, reminding me about maintainance or does it indicate a problem?
