I would think the starter is bad....... a sign of that is it starts to pickup speed as it warms up from cranking. Starter MUST rotate engine at 200 RPM minimum, if you can count RPMs it's too slow. Remember you can shut ignition off and restart from scratch several times if it does not start first time..... you will then recycle the GPs every time.
Batteries must be good too, 2 X 850CCA minimum..... check all wiring for good connections.
