Lately when I try to start the engine it barely turns over, however sometimes it will start right up. I have a battery tender on it all the time.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? Battery? starter?

Thanks for any help

First thing is cables. Are they clean? Are they large enough? Next I would have the starter checked. Could be drawing to many amps.

iagree

Be certain battery cables are a HEAVY GAUGE, such as 1/0, not the auto parts 12 volt variety.
