As described! What is up with this situation? Engine runs beautiful when warmed up, will restart no problem if It has been shut off for even a few hours. Kudos to the battery and starter as I have tried to start it normally when it has been sitting for a few days, won't catch, thank goodness I live on a hill, coast down the hill a bit, put her in 3rd gear pop the clutch and vrooom! Have done this 6 times now!

I too wonder about the ignition switch. Hook up a timing light and see if the strobe lights when cranking. Maybe you have no spark when the key is turned all the way to Start, but poweres the coil in Run. That could explain it.
