As long as the battery is being charged enough so she always starts, I wouldnt worry all that much just yet. It could be worn down brushes in the genny or sticking corroded brush hold down springys or burned carboned contacts in the Voltage Regulator (if it has one instead of simple cutout relay) or a bad grounded or worn switch contact in the LHBD switch if thats what it has (used with 2 wire simple cutout relay systems).
