Howard,
Brushes are the usual inexpensive suspects. While you might be able
to inspect both with starter on the engine, it's easier all round to
remove it to your bench for a lookover. This is an opportunity to wiggle
the armature to see if there is wear in the rear bushing.
Brushes should move easily in their guides, and their springs should
push them firmly against the armature without the springs touching the
guides.
