I HAVE A 1970 MAV WITH 250 CU. IN. SIX. PROBLEM STARTED ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH THE STARTER NOT TURNING OVER THE ENGINE. REPLACED THE STARTER AND STILL TURNS OVER VERY VERY SLOWLY, NOT ENOUGH TO START THE ENGINE. CHECKED ALL GROUNDS AND CABLES. BATTERY IS ONE YEAR OLD AND IS ON A SLOW TRICKLE CHARGE. CHECKED OUT CHARGING RATE--OKAY. COULD I HAVE A BAD STARTER RELAY? IT LOOKS FAIRLY NEW BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WAS REPLACED. WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM DO I HAVE??
