starter problem

I had a similar problem happen to my 87 carrera during a vacation trip to Vermont.
I ended starting the car on a slope for the duration...
My mechanic diagnosed the problem to be the yellow ignition wire from the ignition switch to the LHS engine compartment plug. There was a short somewhere in between...
Rather then buying and installing a new wire set, He just disconnected both sides of the yellow ignition wire and welded a new one in parallel. problem solved!
