The "weak battery" hypothesis got me to wondering. The Purple 95 takes considerably longer to start than my Turq car. The Turq car has an Optima battery purchased last year.

I just checked the battery in the 95 and it's the original. Having only 9k, I suspect that it's most likely been on a battery tender most of its life.
