Hi, I had a similar problem last year.  On mine I replaced the start 
button and that fixed the issue. 

Basically there are a few main areas to check: 

Connections on the batteries. They do get loose over time, obviously the 
easiest fix
Connection(s) at the control panel, I redid mine with crimp connectors as 
well
Connection on the starter


As mentioned it's a poor design to have all that current pass through the 
button on the control panel, I'm starting to consider adding a starter 
relay as well.  That's the proper way to wire a starter or any accessory 
that requires more than a few amps. 

Best of luck.

Our 3GM is exhibiting periodic hard start symptoms of just a click of the
solenoid when you push the starter button and on the third try starts just
fine.  Sometimes starts just fine on first try.  Applies to only one of 
our
two batteries.  We recall a thread on this subject a while ago but do not
recall the solutions.  Can you point me to the thread??
