Lots of time a dying battery can show a nominal charge with no load, but when a load is applied it just can't put out the current anymore.
didn't know that, another reason to look at the battery then

check the gap on the spark plugs.
No way - it's the starter fluid.

Most likely, its probably just the starter. (definitely not the alternator). When i installed a brand new starter, it was a night n day difference. Starts up like it was new. Obviously check the battery first.
