I have a 574 that will crank for a few seconds then the starter will stop cranking and whistle. In the past it has done this but charging the battery would solve it. This time when I tried to start it the battery would barely crank it. I tried to charge the battery but no dice. So I replaced it with a big industrial battery. Got home installed the battery and got the same thing with it cranking for a few seconds then whine. The heater was plugged in so the starter shouldn't have a lot of resistance. Block is slightly warm to the touch. I put the charger on the battery I will clean the connections and give it another shot in the morning. Anything I am missing? The starter was rebuilt two years ago but has not been used much since.
