If the Starter moter clicks but does not turn most of the time and it works fine sometimes, there is a good chance the starder "Commutator has a bad segment. This is the section on the armature that the brushes ride on.

Very common starter problem for older starters. Boat or car.

Good Luck,

Erm - change the brushes in the starter before you worry about a bad segment. Copper brushes are super cheap & should be easy to change
