Default Intermittant Slow/weak starter?

Okay last problem to post and then she will be as good as new...

If I leave the 1991 LS 400 parked for either a day of a week the it cranks slow like a dead battery, but if I drive it and stop and restart is starts quick and strong.

Seems to be better in warm weather... Battery checks good, could the starter be dragging or corroded?

I see in the forum that the starter is difficult to get to, is there any way to check out the starter without actually pulling it?

Thanks,
