I had a similar issue with mine.  I had the "bad" starter (Hitachi?).  I
ordered the a "good" one (Mitsubishi?) from JGY and replaced it.  After
that, I took the old one apart, it was full of black tarry gunk.  I
cleaned it thoughroughly with brake cleaner and packed it with white
grease, now it works fine too.  So now I have a spare.

You might consider removing yours and cleaning/regreasing it.  It worked
on mine and would probably work for others.  I think the open end on the
starter lets gunk get in there and gum up the works....
