Try taking the battery to an auto parts store and have it load tested. New batteries can have bad cells in them. If you are are going to buy a new starter I would take the old one a part first and see if you can see what is wrong with it. If you need a new starter order one from here http://www.ebasicpower.com/

Pull the plugs and try cranking it without the plugs installed. It should turn over fast and freely. I recently had a problem with the engine gumming up after sitting for awhile and even with the plugs removed it would not crank easily. I sprayed WD40 into the cyclinders and after several short bumps it broke free and turned freely. replaced the plugs and it has started immediately since. Of course before I discovered the problem I invested and installed a new starter i didn't need:%
