Any help thanks Mike

Good advice to charge and test the battery, I think Auto Compression Release was added with the 103

Well I don't know what is clunking only that when I push the starter button it clunks and barley turns over (only after running cranks good when cold). I got it with 1700 miles and have not changed anything mechanical. What is a comp? I have not load tested the Batt. it is maybe 3 years old so getting out there battery wise, and usually on a tender . do I just put my meter on it and crank? Thanks

To be clear I know the Comp is sort of a torque converter . What tells you when it should be changed or is it a millage issue . Also have seen things about starter and starter clutch . Is this the year that has problems with these parts? the batt. is an easy and reasonably cheap thing to change should I start there?

Start with a new battery, or having yours load tested.
A bad comp will not make your starter/engine turn over slow.
A bad starter clutch will make a grinding sound and sometimes not engage.
A bad starter motor can and may turn over slow after getting hot - when going bad.
That said, it's probably the battery.
