Sometimes when i start my 67 beetle it cranks right off the bat,but sometimes all it does is engage the starter sol. and nothing happens.I have a new starter,switch,and battery.any suggestions?

Resistance in the starter actuator wire is too high. Add in a hard start relay from a mid 70s Ford.

I added the relay,but found my problem was a bad terminal on the ignition wire at the sol.Thanks jake for the quick response.
