Why not just short the positive battery (large red wire) to the start terminal spade connector the next time this happens.(Make sure it`s in neutral or park)
If it still doesn`t start the problem is in the starter motor/solenoid, or the wiring from the battery to the starter, or the battery to starter motor ground.
If it does start, then do the checks others have suggested.
Colin.
