Do I have a bad starter?
I have a Yamaha Gas G23A and a new battery. I can observe when I press the pedal the starter moves the belt very slowly, it just has a hard time getting through the engine compression. I thought it may be the battery is under rated, but I have 500A CCA which is higher than the manual calls for (400CCA min). I also used a power pack in parallel with the battery to crank and made no difference. If I remove the spark plug, it moves fine. Curious whether I may have some burned or open coils on the starter motor. If you have a gas car, can you tell me if the starter moves the engine fine or is it barely pushing during the engine compression?

New brushes work miracles on starters.

Re: Do I have a bad starter?
If the brushes are still 3/8-1/2" above the housing, can they still fail in time?

NO, but you can have one stuck and not touching the armature correctly and cause a no start issue |

Re: Do I have a bad starter?
Also common to have issue with wire and cable connections. I've had terrible time with battery post clamps, they are clean, one time I had to file the inside and file the battery posts even a wire cleaner would not make them work. Also make sure your belt is not slipping on the gen pulley, the belts get old or loose and do that.
