Engine Cranking Speed Too Slow
Make sure the wiring connections are clean, tight and
not damaged.
Check the battery voltage.
If the engine was not rotated to check the starting motor,
bar the engine in the direction of engine rotation to
make sure the engine is free and does not have an
internal malfunction.
If the engine is free, check the voltage at the starter
during cranking. If the voltage drops more than 2.4
volts, check that all connections are tight.
If the cables are correct and the voltage drop exceeds
the limit, replace the starter.
If the engine requires more than a normal effort to bar,
check for excessive load from the driven units and
accessories.
