almost sounds like corroded battery terminals, OR a bad battery...I would guess it is the terminals...pull the cables off the battery and clean thoroughly with a wire brush, then coat them with a good bit of dielectric grease and reconnect

Yes you can check terminals to the battery, but also check your crank sensor, spark and gas. Pull plug after cranking it several times, if you smell gas then you know it's not the fuel pump.
