Default 03 Foreman Rubicon 500 Not Starting

Hey guys, my dad's ol 03 Rubicon 500 will not start with the electric start, It's not the battery, because that battery is only 3 or 4 months old, and has been on a battery tender since it was new, on occasion it will start with the electric when it is good and warm, but lately it has been starting less and less often, it acts like the starter isn't spinning fast enough, or it isn't getting spark, but I think it has to be getting good spark, because it fires up with the pull rope, without even pulling the cord all the way out, could it be the brushes in the starter motor getting a little corroded?

Any ideas and opinions are welcome
Thanks again
