Thanks to all that offered suggestions.
I solved the problem by replacing the starter. Bosch 3124 has a 5 year
guarantee.
I think the Bricklin is the best keep secret in North America. What
other exotic car can you own, yet the local auto supply place has the
starter in stock and it only costs $60.00!

Subject: slow starter cranking
When my car is hot, the starter cranks very slowly. After the car sits
for 1 hr and cools off a little or when it is cold it will start no
problem.
I've re-checked the connection at the battery, and they are good.
Haven't cleaned the connection at the start yet.
Then the car is hot and I try starting it, the voltage across the
battery drops to 7.5volts.
Does this sound like a battery problem or starter problem?
Thanks for any ideas
