its a 500 twin. i put it away in the fall running. Rplaced battery. verified voltage. verified motor turns freely by turning it by hand at the impeller shaft.

fusable link tests positive. pushing start putton, it does not spin. pretty sure i hear a click. opening up wire control box, the starter solenoid (or relay i guess) has 12 volts across the top large lugs, which suggests the relay has pulled up.

where do i go next, directly to the solenoid/bendix? it looks like a terribly complicated process to pull the exhauast out to get to starter or the wire to it. any suggesstions on the steps to do this, or just start unbolting the tubes manifolds etc.

thanks
