Check all the conections. Unless your alternator is frozen then I would rule that out, Common causes of your problem are bad starter drawing too much current, bad + or- battery cable not alowing enough current or timing too far advance. hope this helps!

Does it do it more when its hot? If so maybe your timing is advanced a bit too much.

I'd check out the starter. A lot of times parts stores will test them for ya. Wouldn't mess with it to much. When mine went out I kept on trying it and then it was drawing current through the small sylenoid wires and not the bigger cables. Burnt those wires in a couple places... Then I had a bigger problem.
