Yuasa or Exide YT7B-BS is what you want I think! Exide would be cheaper and just as good. You can also get a lithium option if you're not racing.

If there is another issue going on could be worth getting the engine checked over depending on the hours you have on it.

Does it turn over but not fire or is it slowly turning over or not turning, just clicking sort of thing

Its like the battery doesn't have enough amps as im using a yuasa 6.5 battery it will just spin the bendix wont turn the engine as a test im using 2x batteries joined to together not 24v but in series this helps but not perfect im thinking on trying a exide battery when funds allow

Have you found a solution to this?

I have the same exact problem, I turn on the ignition key and the starter motor spins but the bendix doesnt engage with the flywheel.
