Cold Weather Starting - 2 clicks then it starts?
The same thing happened last year prior to winter storage...on a colder day in the late fall when turning the ignition to start, I get a click. Try it again, same thing...try it for the 3rd time and presto...starter engages and we're off to the races. No noticable votalge charging differences experienced. Is this a grounding problem or is there some sort of cold weather issue with the starter or electrics associated with the starter.

The battery is an Optima Gell - Red Top. I'm pretty sure it's not the culprit. It pumps out a solid 12 volts. But given your northern european location you may have other cold weather knowledge.
