I realized that I had not cleaned the grounds and connections on my 41 for some time. I disconnected everything around the battery and starter and cleaned and polished every connection. I even cleaned the ground strap which had become quite tarnished and dirty. Put back together and went for a gas fill up. Didn't notice much difference starting the car in the garage. But after filling up with gas, and the car was hot, she started very fast with the first tap of the button.
