[Spridgets] Diagnostic question

[Pboser Yahoo]

Hi all,
My 59 Bugeye spends most of the time in the garage, but I periodically get to drag it out. Although it has had a weak battery, it usually charges up and comes to life. However, I am having a starter problem and I'm looking for help to diagnose it.
First of all, be aware that the car will run start and run fine if I push start it.
However, when I pull on the starter knob, the gas gauge goes to zero but the starter doesn't function. 
Any thoughts on diagnosing the problem? I'm getting tired of push- starting! It's too flat around here!
Thanks,
Pete
