    Hi,
    Somewhere the power is not reaching the motor. Dirty battery terminals and questionable solenoids are the most common culprits.
    Peace,

    You say the motor acts like it's in a bind. Does it turns to a certain point and then stop? If so, this is a common symptom of an engine that needs the valves adjusted.
