The starter motor on my 73 is very sluggish but every once in a while I'll get it turn quick and then almost dead as though the battery flat. I have just put a brand new BOSCH battery on her. I have the clamps tight. The garage is at near freezing temperature here, maybe that does not help. Before I look at buying another starter motor....any suggestions of what to check or hit with a hammer!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
