Take the spark plugs out and then remove the starter . Get a comely assistant or wife/girlfriend and get her to slowly rotate the engine on the crank handle . Shine a flashlight on the ring to see the ring gear state of health . With the starter out check the free sliding motion of the bendix helix to see if any binding .

John in same place same weather .
