Can you measure the voltage at the positive terminal of the coil both when the key is on and when you are cranking the motor, and post the results? It should be around 12 when cranking(start 2) and 7 or 8 volts when on(start 1).

That said, I need to ask- How often do you run it? Or maybe a better way to ask it is- how much time between starts?
