the starter motor, it only cranks over between 1 - 5 degrees -
certainly not enough to get it to crank over.

Anyone experienced this before and could give me a few clues.

====================================

Have you checked for water in the cylinders? Pull the spark plugs and
try to turn it over. If that's the problem you need to get it
serviced right away before it totally rusts up.

I pulled all of the spark plugs out and the starter motor was able to
spin. Once I added the spark plugs back in with compression, it was
back to being unable to crank.
