I thought maybe I left on the dome light, so I hooked up my battery charger. After 15 min or so, I tried it. Same thing, very slow cranking, voltage gauge dropped all the way to zero and the starter is making funny sounds. I just had it rebuilt last August, and up until now it spun nice and fast and quiet.

Give a quick check on the chassis ground strap between engine and frame 
before you pull the starter.
