There are several causes for slow cranking even with a fresh battery. 1. Poor electrical connections at the battery posts, starter motor and to the frame or too small wiring between battery and engine. 2. Poor relay and/or starter solenoid contacts. 3. Excessive cylinder pressure during cranking due to high compression and/or improper camshaft timing. 4. Excessive friction at starter motor etc due to misalignment or bad bearings.
