Hi Mike,
First thing to check is the starter switch. Try bridging it with a
pair of pliars to see if the starter works consistently. Trace all the
wires, breaking and re-making all connections, including those at the
battery.
Be careful with jump-starting. Most folks who have broken rear
half-shafts think that they broke because of jump-starting. Using the
starting handle is safer for the car, if not for your arm.
