Slow cranking when starting
hey there guys i just got a 1986 ford f250. it has been sitting for a while and needed a battery so i but a new one in and did a tune up. When i try to crank it over it cranks slow the 1st few revolutions. it always starts but know this is not normal. what could cause this? The charging system is ok i checked it when did the tune up

i would check the ground and positive wires for broken insulator, breaks, frays. just check every connection from the battery to the starter.
i upgraded my ground wire to a 1/0. on a warm engine i can just tap the starter and shes running.

check to see if the starter is getting hot while cranking. Might have a problem here if the above doesn't work. Also check the battery connections to see if they are getting hot or sparking.
