HI Helge

Probably its the starter. My Ambo would occasionally try to turn over but
you could hear it turn the motor over a partial rev and then would just get
stalled out. Holding the button on a bit would then allow the starter to turn over
the motor/ I was chasing the battery as the problem until I thoroughly
cleaned the starter. High resistance caused the slow cranking. Works well now.
(Marelli)
The non turning at all I also experienced. I was running an old Benz a few
years ago and the click click click, vroom hit me also. Found it was a bad
starter motor.
Have your Marelli rebuilt and you should be OK.
Good Luck
