I have had the plane for 7 years and has always been an issue but has slowly gotten worse. I had the left mag, starting switch, and starting vibrator rebuilt in 2017 chasing another problem that turned out to be a short that was easy to see on the P wire at the left mag. checked the plug wiring found it OK. pulled the starting vibrator and found the contact points deeply pitted in one spot on lower point and a raised area on the upper point. cleaned them up and looking for a new set of contact points. Aircraft spruce is out of stock, in case anyone has a suggestion on where to get them. Thanks for all the help and ideas. She starts better and I think I have to really work on my technique to prevent flooding the engine. I hate listening to that starter work so hard.
