The simple solution in 3 parts.
1. Replace the ignition swith. It's not expensive, and it will insure the voltage gets to the starter.
2. Clean the contacts throughout the starter circuit. This only costs a can of contact cleaner, and it good preventative maintenence anyway.
3. Spend the money for an aftermarket high torque starter. It's newer technology, and it draws less amps on the start circuit.

I did this after fighting a hot start problem on Betty's 914 for years. It starts everytime now with no hesitation.
