Hey there Russ

My first guess would be to inspect the starter motor. With your headlights ON, turn the engine over…if the headlights DIM, you probably have a bad starter motor or a weak battery. If the headlights stay good and bright…you probably have a bad connection at the starter motor, if the headlights go OUT, you have a bad battery or a bad connection at the battery cables.

Blessings,
