Clean your terminals real good and replace those battery cables if theyre old, both real cheap. Getting a bigger battery helps too (plus youd have clean terminals again). Id wager its something simple like that, since youve said before that itll fire up off a jump start. Go easy on pumping that gas when you start it.

I just chased down a battery with a loose plate inside . As long as it sat flat It would hold ok, park on a slant and down it would go, short out inside. drove me nuts.
