Hi Robert-
I had this problem for years until I burnt my hand one day on the carb
return spring. You have a BAD ENgine to Frame ground, From the left cover
of the timing cam cover to the chassis by the front cross brace is a ground
strap. The crimp between the cable and the connectors gets loose, dirty.
etc.
To check this run the black cable of a booster cable rom a Cyl Head Bolt to
the Battery Ground. Try to start- if it starts right up you've solved the
problem/.\
I thought my starter wa going bad- took it off, spun great- even had the
shop test it -TWICE- then found this simple but critical link.
