    Default starting problems

    Hi all got a wee bit of a problem starting my vt sometimes usually if it sits for 20 or more minutes it starts begrudgingly if it cranks like a flat battery but i've tried different batteries i tried replacing the brushes in my alternator seems to be the same sort of getting a bit frustrated if i only drive a short distance it starts ok and if i stop to say get fuel then try to start it straight away cranks slow like flat battery then nothing does anyone have any suggestions

    thanx
