TR4 starter problem -- or not?

["steven@cravetechnology.com" <steven@cravetechnology.com>]

My '62 TR4 starter is behaving a bit different over the last week. On
the first cranking, it'll crank real slow, maybe 1/3 of usual. If it
doesn't turn over, on the second cranking, it's usually back to regular
speed. It starts eventually... so far.

Engine rebuild finished on the 20th, nothing but a new coat of paint for
the starter. An oil change coincided with the change in cranking, don't
know if it's relevant. Any thoughts?
