Thanks to everyone for responding so quickly. I posted the message and was gone all day.
I am confused on what to do to solve this issue. I looked at the starter drive from this sites link (Starter Drive Part Number 1877350), it looks like it is a bendix style drive to me.
This problem only happens when the temp drops to 35 and below. I never seem to try to look into when it is warm, of course! It really seems to act like something is sticky and not engaging. I did replace the solenoid a couple years ago..and it seemed to help for a while.
I will definitely clean up the battery posts and inspect the connections tomorrow. I don't have a hydrometer to test the cells, but, it seems to turn the motor fast when it does engage.
Is there a trick to pull the starter off, like T in Ne mentioned? I don't want to get it taken off an not be able to get back on. It looks straight forward. If it is, I may try to remove to see what is going on. Just don't have tons of time to devote to it right now...
