Hi !
Had more or less the same problem.
I just renewed the battery which was completely charged. All the electrical stuff like headlights etc. worked just fine , still the engine cranked for a moment , later it would give just a clicking sound.
I checked the voltage and it was about 11,40V which was too low to start the engine. I then fully recharged the battery , installed new negative pole-batterycables. After that my car started immediatly.

Before I checked the following : oil , cooling , renewal of sparkplugs and HT-leads , superficial cleaning of the carburator , checking the gasignition and choke.

Hope this helps.
