That sounds remarkably like an issue I had with my Spitifre.  
Starting got harder and harder until eventually even my trusty 
portable starter battery wouldn't help.  It appeared to be bad wiring 
or solenoid or ground.  Yet bypassing them didn't help.  The problem 
was thoroughly worn brushes in the motor.
