Sounds more like your battery is knackered, not enough power under load to run the starter then recovers a bit after you've stopped. Try it with another good one or jump leads etc to see if starts, pound to a pinch it will.

Check the other end of the heavy black lead that runs from the battery, where it's bolted to the frame/engine/starter.

id also try a new battery but failing that it could be the regulator, any decent garage can check it out for you
