One of the motors will not crank at all when it is hot...not even a click from the starter. Cranks and runs fine when cold or if I wait a WHILE after shutting it off. I have already checked all of the connections that I can think of and they are all tight and not corroded. Batteries are fully charged, and even with the other engine running I get nothing from the starter on this one.

I am leaning towards the starter relay, which MIGHT be breaking down from the heat from the engine since it is mounted right to the block, but other than that I am out of ideas.

Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks!
