Kts68,
Had a similar problem with a car that was stored over the winter wouldn't turn over come spring. Finally traced it down to a film of corrosion on the starter commutator. The commutator looked fine, dull copper color, but the thin film of corrosion / oxide was enough to insulate the brushes. I pulled the brushes out, lightly sanded them with 400 grit sand paper. Did the same to the starter commutator. The starter fired right up after this.
Some handy reference info attached.
Regards,
Dave
