Have someone hold the key in the crank position and hit the starter on the bottom with a hammer. (No Kidding!) Hit it hard. Sometimes there is a dead spot in the armature or the bushings on the ends of the starter are bad, causing the armature to touch the fields. I bet it starts with the first strike of the hammer.
