Default JetCat Slipping (?) Starter

Gents, I have a JC 100rx that isn’t coming up to rpm (rpm low signal) during initial start phase. It had fewer than 5 starts since new when the issue developed, but the engine is actually at least 8 years old. Do the starter O-rings harden and lose grip over time, requiring periodic replacement even if nearly new in terms of total time?

How does one analyze/trouble shoot starter issues? I’ve read references alluding to cleaning the O-ring/starter interface, but have no idea how to go about it.

Any help appreciated - thanks all,

Don
