Yes, rolls over the same speed. Someone who had the car before me had a welding shop make up battery cables for it, and it's never been slow to roll over. Charging system seems good, just had the regulator checked and adjusted and generator totally rebuild by a local shop. if i let it sit for about 45 min or so, i can come out, pump it 4-5 times, then try to start it and it will fire right up as if it was the first thing in the morning and it's cool as a cucumber.

As fred mentioned in the other thread, it may not be the heat that's the issue but that the carb is not providing the right mixture when it's hot. Something to think about as it idles great cold but starts to roughen up when taken off the fast idle and it's warmed up.
