I just picked up this motor and I'm trying to start it. The ignition wires were chopped when I bought it so I patched it back up(soldered and shrink wrap with new ignition switch). But it won't crank. It has 12v on the incoming side of the solenoid where the battery cable connects. And when I turn the key, I get 12v on the bottom two terminals, but nothing on the big guy that goes to the starter. So I pulled the solenoid off of my Evinrude 35 (which starts great) and I get the same thing. Do I just not understand how these solenoids work? Anything else I should be looking at? Thanks.
