Well..... 200 1988

The TB switch is, I believe, an unrelated problem.

The fact that the problem seems to be temperature-related directs suspicion away from the neutral safety switch and toward the heavy electrical parts.

Have you tried the "hit the starter with a heavy object" treatment that will sometimes get a few more starts out of a dying starter?

When it fails to start, reach down there with an old screwdriver that you don't mind burning a little and short across from the heavy battery terminal to the trigger wire terminal. If the starter cranks, then the problem is in the trigger (key, neutral safety switch) but that doesn't sound likely.

When you say the wires look good, that includes the heavy ground connections, right?
