I see that the starter appears to be working ok now. A word of advice. If it normally starts well when cold but seems like it is hard to start when warm, see if there is a cover over the starter solenoid. That is the little round thing attached to the starter. When the header is too close, it overheats the bendix and then it tends to turn slower because it is too hot. The cover I am talking about is available in the help section of most auto parts stores. You normally do not have a problem if you are using stock manifolds.
