I had this problem a while ago and it got to the point where it would not 
start for like five minutes until it cooled a little.   Turned out to be the 
positive cable that goes from the battery to the starter solenoid.  When it 
got hot it would not allow enough current to pass for normal starting because 
I guess it was just old.
