Ok, had a chance to check the main relay. It clicked when ignition was turned on. In terms of it being solid, well I'm not sure. My ears are shot, so I had my wife listen. She thought that it sounded and felt a bit whimpy, but that's probably subjective It did click however, every time the ignition was turned on. There was not buzzing that could be heard or felt. I also examined the 25A connection at the battery. It looks fine. One thing that did happen, my battery was dead when I went out to check the above items. I just bought it and it was cranking fine, a couple of days ago. Not sure what caused that, but I'm looking into it. It's fully charge now. With the relay apparently o.k. any thoughts on how to proceed. BC suggested checking the crank position sensor. My Bently manual calls this . . . I think, the Engine cranking signal. I'll take a look at that tomorrow. Another note, last weekend when I did get it running for a short period, the black exhaust appeared to indicate very rich burning fuel.
