Trying to bump start the VTR in cold weather when this first happened to me was really interesting!
Design flaw!

Hope you find your other gremlins :D

It's just the starter clutch, everything that has been happening, all the symptoms I think have pointed to this. It screeches a few times, starts of slow then speeds up until it fires. The battery is good, the reg/rec is doing its job, the starter solenoid is working ran my multimeter/battery checker on them & they were all fine
