Check out www.hallvw.clara.net/starter.htm
It's probably a starter in need of a bit of cleaning and lubrication -
pretty common in fact.  You could probably keep getting under and tapping
it, and it would continue to work.  You might of course have a lazy ignition
starter switch, or a poor connection(s) anywhere in the starter and ignition
switch circuit.  A favourite place is the connector under the seat/carpet
(or by the battery on later ones).
