Noticed last night and this morning when I started up the westy it hesitated for a few seconds before turning over as if the battery was low or something and when it did it made a funky scraping sound like there was not enough lubrication in the engine, but only for about 2 seconds after it turned over. Now it's been cold here in NC the last few days, like 18 degrees in the morning and I've never had this happen before, but it's still strange. Any suggestions?
