Finally, after a week of troubleshooting, I found the problem that prevented the engine from running. It turned out to be a bad ground wire off the ignition switch. I replace the ignition switch, the key tumbler, the battery, and removed the starter for testing.
Praise the Lord for helping me to locate the problem. I was getting very frustrated buying parts that were not fixing the problem. Out of sheer frustration, I removed the wiring harness from the ignition switch to try the old switch as a test. Once the harness was out in the open, I could see a slightly burned ground wire and a loose connection. When I fixed that the engine kicked over like new. Well, like an old engine, but it started anyway. Even aftetr7 1/2 years of sitting.
Here is a short video clip of the 1st run. The volume may be a bit loud. In time, I should learn how to better edit my clips. Enjoy!
