Ever, or only say when cold or hot?

When were the valve clearances last checked?

Connect a wire to the battery+ and touch the other end on the small terminal on the starter solonoid, if it then turns over, either the ingniton switch or something in that circuit is faulty, if it doesn't turn over the fault is in the starter motor.

check for a signal/12v at the starter motor the small wire (pig to get at ) when the ingnition switch is turned to cranking position if yes suspect starter in no then its within that circuit, i would expect it to be startermotor,regards TB
