I suggest lubricating the upper and lower bushes in the starter motor with a good anti seize compound and checking the brushes while it is apart

Are you sure the battery is ok because it might be failing under load i.e. the battery voltage drops from 12+ volts to about 4 or 5 volts.

Please check before going to much further. cheers2

Fred,

Just give it a good clean out and make sure that you oil up the bushes.
