Todd, Sounds like theres indeed some sort of starter problem cuz with no load when you attach a good battery to her she oughta torque kick real hard n spin fast instantly. I begin with clean/buff/polish/brush the commutator shiny as non abrasively as possible and make sure the springs are pushing the brushes down tightly. While the armature is out you can use an ohmmeter to make sure the armature isnt shorted out cuz none of the commutator segments should show any continuity to the shaft and also examine to see if any of the armature is dragging/rubbing up against any of the field poles due to worn bushings. If so the bushings need replaced and hopefully??????? she hasnt gotten hot n ruined any armature wire insulation causing a shorted armature. Such a short might manifest in burns n pits on the commutator,,,,,,as that burned electrical smell,,,,,,,,,as rub marks on the armature and field poles. If the armature isnt shorted and theres no rub marks on it or the field poles and the bushings and commutator are all good, then I suspect a field problem like a partial short or dis continuity where the 2 are spliced together or an open circuit or a dead short like to the starters interior frame. My guess just sittin here is maybe a bad/shorted/open field winding?????? Are there any old fashioned starter n genny shops in your area??? John T
