how's the battery? Try hooking up a battery charger and boosting it and then try to start it while boosting.

have you checked your ignition switch? probe all the wires in the harness during the crank. you may not be getting power to ignition, accessory, second accessory, starter, or second starter. the ignition wires are all soldered to the ignition switch, and if one is shorted, solder joint is cracked, etc. it will do that. here are the wires to look at if you don't know already:

there is a molex plug under there - the wires change colors through the plug.

ignition: blk/wht - blk/red
starter blk/yel - blk/wht
second starter: grn/blk - red/blu
accessory: red/yel - red
second accessory: blu - wht/blu

use a dmm and probe all the wires. it's worth a shot.. HTH
