Hello... New to iboats and thorougly amazed by the wealth of knowledge here. I have a 1970 60hp Johnson Electric start/shift. When at the lake the starter did not engage when I turned the key in the ignition switch (to my wife's dismay). I proceeded to jump the terminals on the solenoid with the key in the on position and it fired up to get us back on land. After strenuous troubleshooting I have replaced what I thought was a bad solenoid and then used a testlight to check for electrical current. When I turn the key to start the solenoid gets power at both small terminals but no power at the starter terminal. if i clamp the testlight to the disconnected solenoid ground and then to the positive of the battery I get no light. Should this produce a light with a 12 v testlight? I'm guessing by reading that this may be a neutral safety switch issue? After an exhausting search for the location of the neutral safety switch I have conceeded and need to ask for Help!
Many Thanks.
