Sounds like a possible bad connection somewhere. I've had two similar issues before. One that burned out the starter. The first problem was with the battery cable. Looked perfectly fine on the outside, but the cable strands were loose inside the terminal connection on the solenoid, it had a bad crimp on that end of the cable. I could see the problem till one day it burned the end off while starting.

Another time, a very light layer of corrosion had built up on the battery terminals. Looked fine visually, but was enough to prevent a start.

Moral of the story: check all your connections. Corrosion, bad grounds(battery to frame, frame to engine, etc) bad cables.
