You don't mention what your ignition setup is but when the engine is hot and "barely turns over" unplug the coil (no spark is what you want), that will eliminate ignition as an issue if it still barely turns over.
If it turns over normal then it's an ignition related issue.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

^^^ agreed, unplug & GROUND the coil wire & if no change you might put a 1&1/4" socket on the crank & see how much torque it takes to turn it & you might check the cranking voltage at the starter. Keep us updated. EDIT seperate the dist pickup zigzag connector to disable the ign (be sure to not let the metal (male) tip of the body half of the connector touch ground!)

Yup, this is the first place to start. I did an engine build and then by coincidence my voltage regulator went at the same time. Battery was getting a low charge and engine wouldn't restart hot.
