I finally was able to start it with a screw driver jumping the starter solenoid


This certainly makes it sound like something in the "S" circuit to the
solenoid. (Ignition switch, connector or a broken wire in the
harness).


Well, I am not backing away from the Sulfated Battery (sp?) or cell, but
a bad connection could do the same thing...

Either way if the battery survives the draw down test, it's time to
check the wiring for sure...
