If it starts every time when jumper cables are attached, you're getting a poor connection from the battery to the engine. Check the battery cables, especially the negative side, at both the battery and the end attached to the engine and/or body.

Try hitting the side of the starter with a wrench the next time it acts up. If it starts it's stuck brushes in the starter.
