    It actually happened with the original starter as well, would always fire up cold extremely easy, then once it was hot it would be difficult. If I would go in the store for about 5-10 minutes then come back out it would start pretty easy, but once it's fully warmed up if I shut it off for a second then start it up again, I get the extremely sluggish turn over.

    Too small primary battery cable, poor grounded neg cable, timing issues. Either one or a combination of the three. How far is the battery from the starter?

    Just checked the cable, it says 4 AWG, which I assume means 4 gauge. I think it's a 45 inch cable. Will look into the grounding cable. Also tried adjusting the timing with the vac gauge, it was a little difficult because the gauge was a little jumpy (which I don't think is normal?). Just uploaded a video of it.
