Starting Problems

I have a '67 bagged LWB fleet, I just bought a new compressor and hooked up some new switches and had no problems.

The problem that started today, when the truck is layed out, it wouldn't start, like I had a dead battery. I tried ti jump it and no luck, so I put air in the front bags to look underneath, didn't see anything, and deceided to try and start it again, and it fired right up.

When I made it home, I looked for pinched wires or anything that could be tight and didn't find anything but I noticed my starter was pretty hot. Is it possible that I need a heat shield around the starter & possibly the main power wire? Is there anything I should look for that may be getting smashed? I also have my battery in the bed.


summary.....
Layed out = no power
Front aired up = power
