rolls over really slow

i fixed the whole fuel pump thing in my 94 ranger but still whenever i go to start it it rolls over really slow and then picks up a little but almost doesnt want to start its rolling over so slow. nothing is siezed up and i got a new battery a while back and have plenty of charge from the alternator. any ideas.

turn the motor over by hand to see if you can feel any thing broken

Charge the battery.

The place you bought it from will probably charge it for free.

Original starter or starter solenoid ? Pull the starter and have it checked. Solenoids go bad with age (contacts get pitted,burnt) so you may want to change it out.
Check the bolts holding the starter to the engine as that is where it gets its ground , make sure they're tight.
