Is the battery holding charge during the two week period? If it is draining down do to a small short it might be an issue of not having enough to turn the starter and fire the coil. Was a big issue with 6V VW's. Also check your wiring and connections, a lot of small defects can add up to hard starting. WD is a short term fix, dielectric grease long term fix.
