Thanks, Phillip et. all for the suggestions.  I'm led to believe the 
problem is solenoid related.  See below where I find 12.8v everywhere in 
the system when resting and cranking.

That is the best option.  Measure the system.  I would want to

know the 

 * battery voltage at rest

12.8V

 * battery voltage when cranking

12.8V

 * voltage drop between the starter and the battery "+"

   when cranking

0.0V

 * voltage between the engine "ground" and battery "-" 

   when cranking

12.8V

 * voltage between the small trigger terminal on the selonoid

   and the battery "+" when cranking.
12.8V
