I had a problem with the generator not charging. I had it rebuilt and the regulator checked - all good. I had my local classic car shop check out the charging system and they found a wire on the regulator ground post was the problem and cut off the wire terminal. I checked the wiring chart see it shows a ground wire leading from the regulator to a ground post on the starter. Why would there be a ground wire connecting the regulator and starter?? The car has been starting for the past 2 weeks until today. Now the starter is much slower engine will not start.
 
Slower starter sounds like a bad ground, but could be your + cable. Make sure the battery is fully charged and in good condition. Maybe you can access a battery load tester.
