make sure you wires and connections are clean and when you attach the starter make sure the housing is clean also, use some contact cleaner, but disconnect the battery 1st. and also clean the ground cable where it connects to your engine block (striker plate) BTW carb cleaner works well also, just make sure your battery is disconnected for your safety!

peace!
