Seems like every time I think I've got it and it starts multiple tries, then it stops again and I'm back to pulling my hair out!
ok, starter is good.
Put a Bat + to small terminal on sol as you mentioned, if starter spins, back track with that hot wire following the wiring diagram, till the starter no longer spins then you will have isolated the problem.
Have you cleaned the wire ends (female) on the ignition switch plug, as well as switch terminals? (male spades) they are a known problem area, especially the hot lead from the battery.
Don't pull your hair out, Ha,LOL! you are getting closer to the Cheese, and when you find it, much joy will result,----- and you will find it.
