Problem Solved!! Jaq and Turbo200R4 were dang near spot on, mine had a slight twist. It was the cable from the battery, however mine was the Positive connection, at the battery. I just came back from a run to STL and no starting issues. I had been cleaning connections then installing star washers under the Neg cable connectors to ensure a good solid connection. No help, still acted up. So, cleaned again and a star washer under the Positive cable. Done deal, no issue. I now think I can rationalize the 'bumping' of the engine, I was moving the pistons just enough to either dump compression or move one past TDC and it was easier for the reduced voltage to spin the starter.
I thanks everyone for their suggestions, life is good again.
