My VZ has a good battery, a big bugger, at 640CCA, and yet the crank is difficult to turn over, so my thoughts are drifting from it being a weak battery to perhaps something, anything else. No matter the weather, the battery I have doesn't ultimately fail, I just have to try a few times before the crank will actually spin more than a quarter turn.
So can a starter motor be weak?
If so, what aspect of it causes that weakness? Earthing? Dry solder contacts etc?
Wreckers nearby have ones for $55, so it's not a fortune to try one to rule it out as a cause, but personally I'm unaware that they had a state somewhere between working and dead.
