Ignition too far advanced can make it do this, ie turn over slowly, but there are other causes, duff starter for example.

check the connections at starter and battery for corrosion, or like tabetha said, duff starter!

Could easily be the starter, especially if worn.

Check the plug gaps first, then for any air leaks.
