Tim, it sounds like you’re definitely on the right track with the resistance problems once the system is hot.

As was discussed in an earlier thread, make sure all of your battery cables are up to snuff and that your ground connections are fresh and tight.

I tracked down a warm start problem on my ’26 Rickenbacker to an internally corroded cable from the starter contact to the starter.

The cable looked fine on the outside but had developed corrosion under the insulation.

Running extra ground cables also seemed to help as well.
