Your starter also slow down then speed up at approximately a one hertz rate that mine does not do. Something in the starter or something else causing it? Can you hear it?
Thanks, I verified that it is still slow after fulling charging the battery overnight inside the house. I also hear (and feel) the 1 Hz rhythm. Is there anything other than the starter itself that might cause it to be slow/bumpy?
