I apologize to all. It was and electrical, not mechanical. It was a simple "Positive Battery Clamp". The Cable connection to the Clamp was bad. I've change the Battery Post Clamp and cleaned the crimped cable end. Starts right up.
It's really funny. I have tried cranking the starter, unmounted to the engine. Cranks right up. I guess you can't take any connection for granted.
