Hi Fred,
You have received lots of good advice but perhaps I can add one more
suggestion.
Clip one lead of a digital volt meter onto the terminal stud of the starter
and the other to the bolt where the ground strap attaches to the frame.
Operate the starter and check that you get at least 9 VDC as the engine
cranks.
More than 9 and the starter is slow means the starter is bad or the engine is
tight.
Less than 9 you have a battery, master switch, solenoid or cabling problem.

Listers,
It appears that my starter is slowly dying. It is operating slower and
slower with a fully charged battery. Nothing seems to effect it, even
after a long drive, with a hot/warm engine the starter acts the same,
slower and slower.
Does it make sense to switch to the gear reduction starter or have this one
rebuilt, if that will improve performance.
What has been the experience of those who have made the switch? What
actually is the benefit of the switch? What sources are there for the
starter?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Fred
