It's usually the simple stuff. However if the problem continues it's the solenoid, you can get a few more starts out of them by giving them a nice whack, or even using a screwdirver to bridge the two posts on the forward end of the starter, but eventually you need to get a rebuilt sarter, it's very common, same as the starter in the 240.
