Hi Gary,
In my experience it is difficult to accurately determine the cause of
starting problems without some diagnosis.
Checking the voltage between the starter power terminal and ground during
activation of the starter is the first thing to check.
Typically there should be at least 10 volts during this test.
That said however, the symptoms that you describe are pretty typical of a
starter that is on the way out.
If the starter is starting to fail be careful ... applying power to a
starter which is not turning can melt the solder of the commutator which
substantially increases the cost of rebuilding the unit.
