Matt:
I had a similar problem years ago on my 64B. The cause was a bad place on the
starter motor commutator. I
temporarily got around it by using a broom handle to reach the starter motor an
turn it slightly. It would
then start. I eventually had to pull and replace it but this technique allowed
me to postpone it for a while.
Since it was only one bad spot on the commutator it only happened occasionally.
