Im needing some extra input. Im working on my 68 Evinrude sportfour 60hp. I am trying to start it for the first time since buying it last summer. When i turn the key i get no response from the starter.

I have 12volts at 3 of the 4 terminals on the back of the key switch. I have also checked the starter relay. I have 12 volts coming in. .20 on the 1st terminal going down. 2-6 volts jumping around on the 2nd terminal going down and nothing on the bottom relay to the starter. I have jumped across and the starter will spin.

Im fairly certain im loosing connection somewhere but im not sure where. Electrical frustrates the heck outta me.

My mind leads towards solenoid issue if your certain the solenoid is good then It may be the wiring. Tblshur has given the best advice so far
