True. The faults that you can get away with on a cold start can leave you sitting with a hot engine. Just baking the old big starter can sometimes be enough with everything else in fair shape. Add in a questionable battery, smaller cables, corroded terminals, or a little too much initial timing and you will be camped out for awhile.
