Slow cranking is most often a weak battery - try charging over night with quality multi stage charger, using a known good battery jump start, replacing battery.
Could also be poor electrical connections - check all connections for security - pay special attention to earth/ground return.

Note: When the starter motor does not get the correct electrical current, you may overheat the coils, damage the starer beyond repair.
