Bill it sounds like you have a current problem to the starting circuit. Check the size of wire used to run the loop to the kill switch, the kill switch itself, and the ground as mentioned in the previous post. Don't overlook the cable ends to the battery as well. With a new starter it should really spin fast. Might want to pull the plugs with the fuel pump unplugged and see if it spins faster. Bad timing will cause it to spin slow and the no plug check will help eliminate this.
