I've had my headlight switch act like you describe. It turned out to be the switch itself. Try removing the switch and making the connections yourself. Take note of what wire went where! Locate the constant hot W/ volt meter and then you can connect each of the other remaining wires to ensure your wiring is not at fault. Can't remember off hand but should have one hot one to headlights/dimmer one to marker lamps and one i think going to instrument lights somehow.. After making those connections all lights should be on. It sounds like you can get all the lights on at some position of the switch so a bad switch would be a good bet.
As far as your starter goes like has been said previously, check all connections not just for tightness but clean contacting surfaces too. Been through that more than once! Even though the battery is new, put a charger on it at low ampreage and make sure its topped off. All batterys have some internal resistance and will drain themselves over time. No telling how long it was on the shelf.
Good luck!
