Had a similar issue a few years ago with my '08.  It would just randomly start or not start.  I ended up finding a random bad fuse.  I wish I remember which fuse it was but I remember it being a random head scratcher.  I found it on youtube.

I believe there is a fuse/relay for the starter solenoid. That's the unit that sticks off the side of your starter. His corrosion issue could have been causing a heat issue due to bad voltage etc. Heat can melt the insulation on the wires of a starter solenoid or cause an electrical short. Judging by what his battery tops look like in the pics he is having a voltage issue due to heat and corrosion damage. My old 1999 7.3l is having the same problem right now. And it has the dual battery setup with the big lead block on the passenger side battery. Well inside the insulation I can see that the wire is green. That's a problem every time you see it inside wire insulation.

Just throw all the parts at it till she’s fixed. That or don’t ever turn it off ever again. You keep bragging about how big your fuel tank is.

Starter solenoid is part of the starter. Pull the starter, take it to Napa and have them bench test it except it’ll bench test good unless it happens to be the problem and it also happens to act up while it’s there getting bench tested.

Get your friend to try and start it while it’s acting up and you can have the multimeter at the starter to see if she’s getting power. Usually…. Like 999/1000 when a starter is failing it’ll make a single click.

Is there power to the ignition switch when it’s acting up? Through the switch?

The battery stuff needed to be replaced irregardless. Good that you got that out of the way and eliminated that as a potential cause.

Did you remember to just wiggle stuff?

Should I cancel the part order?

I have not had time to do anything. Was gone for a long weekend. Will do a rudimentary check for obvious things underneath, but need to get it in a shop.

Sort of did that once with a 1974 Datsun 710. Still fairly new but would sputter, shake, rattle and roll. Did all the tune up stuff, eliminating possible causes.......no cure. Finally, decided to check the fuel filter (plastic, see thru) and there it was.......extremely thin flat little flakes clogging it up intermittently as fuel flowed through.

I'll focus on the 12 years that it's been a rock solid rig. We've still got a lot of miles to ride together.

Although Tiger really likes the back-up ride!

 What is that in? :DOH:

 I have one that requires engine removal as well :bash:
