If battery good there is still a step before going to starter.
Power source.
Power distribution.
Powered device.

Always trouble shoot in that order. Never skip a step.
We have seen many people on here jump straight to replacing starters only to find they had a dirty battery connection or loose ground wire.
Bad tumblers usually result in a complete failure not just a no start. He has auxiliary power.
Another major cause of no start with MT cars is a bad clutch switch but that test comes in step two ( distribution) so needs to wait until source is checked.
