Craig, What your describing is called starter drag. 25+ year old starter, weak solenoid, bad brushes and just plain old. I have brand new one or rebuilt ones with a 5 year warranty. Some of the earlier vin cars needed a modification but not knowing your vin I can tell you if yours is in that category or not. 2547 earlier needed the mod.
