I dunno, the UZ is a pretty light motor and that gen of engine is FAA certified for airplane usage, an impressive feat for an automobile engine.

I've read about this problem on other cars, usually it IS a voltage/amperage issue. Ballasts can take a large amount of current to start, any weak wiring along the way will act up at ballast start, si...
