Weak battery, bad ground, bad connection at starter switch, possibly something wrong with the starter motor like a dirty commutator or badly worn or damaged brushes.
Any number of things most of which are fairly easy to fix.

Check your timing. May not be retarded enough when the lever is up. I assume it is up every time you try to start it.

As soon as the starter quits cranking for whatever reason, turn on the lights and try the horn. If they also don't work I'd suspect a bad connection at the battery.
