Just as I stated in addition it was periodically not cranking, no response when turning the key. But most of the time would work fine. Also the arching was intermitent?
Finally, when turning the key now nothing. I am thinking of course starter and Bendix, more specifically. Never in my life have I experienced the crackling-arching sound when starting. Very odd!

Where is the arching? If it is by the starter than check all your wire, sometimes they can look good on the outside but may have so corrosive. If it is by the switch than I would say the ignition switch is bad.
