An engine that won't crank when hot usually is from one of several possibilities:

- dragging starter which probably is not the case.

- bad battery cell(s). It takes more amps to crank a hot engine than one that is cold.

- cables that are too small in diameter.

- cables that are too long in length and small diameter.

- amp rating of the battery.

= You want at least 450 battery amps.

= Use battery cables designed for 6v - large diameter

= check the battery for bad cells. My personal preference is not to install a maintenance free battery, install one you can check.

Based on your description, a bad battery
