Subject:Starting problems

Looks like this has raised its head again but different this time.  Seems
that the starter turns but doesn't engage.  Everything seems to work except
it doesn't engage.  This started happening when the temperature started
getting down in the 40s and lower.  The starter was last replaced in 1996
for what then probably wasn't a starter problem.  I seem to remember some of
the list members talking about greese hanging things up in the starter.  How
is the best way to go about checking this?  Is there a certain part that is
at fault?  Hard greese?  Is it easy to clean out and what greese should be
used (Moly with graphite in it versis other types)?
