I agree, it sounds like a weak/sulfated battery. Ozzie, did you check voltage at the battery when cranking, or just at the BRD green ignition wire? I would check at the starter and see what you get. Compare that to what you get on the battery terminals when starting. It should tell you if there is a problem with the cut off switch or cabling to the starter. The feed to the ignition comes directly off of the starter.
