Starting issues

I have a 19 F250 with a 460. The ignition has been converted to electronic with and MSD. The truck has been running great for quite sometime until recently. Lately I am having an issue starting the truck. I have checked to see if there is any kind of power draw and nothing. the battery is fine as well as the alternator. I have had to replace the starter solenoid at least 3 times. The truck will fire up but other times it wont unless i have it jump stared. My other issue i am having is the fuel gauge for the primary stopped working. it works fine when i switch over to the reserve. I any thoughts and or help on these issues.

Sounds like you got another bad solenoid.
If you pull the connector off the gas tank and ground the green wire the gage should peg. If it doesn't move then I would test the switch in the dash.
