Its probably the starter motor! My one was doing this for a while til I put a different one on.
I havent actually taken it apart yet to find out what was causing it but I think I've lost a bit of magnet from the inside of the motor

Slacken the starter mount pins and move the starter away from the engine block and then retighten pins it sounds like the starter is to hard in mesh with the flywheel ring gear
