[Spridgets] Tired Starter

Have you bench tested the starter - stick on a bench and connect it with a  
couple of jumper cables from the car battery?  You might need an assistant  
to hold the starter.

Michael,

Why don't you try the swapping the gear reduction  starter into it?
Might allow you to determine whether it's your
Lucas  starter or some other problem.
Sounds heat related, might be the starter,  or wiring breaking down 
somewhere.
Maybe if you pull your original starter,  and give it a good cleaning, might
help.
