Having issues starting.

Hi, I'm having issues with my 115 seahorse. I Got a new starter and put it in, but when i try to crank it over I get nothing. All i hear is the solenoid clicking. I've tried cleaning wired and grounds making sure that they were ok.
Is there a fuse somewhere that i could be missing? Also I've read on here about a safety switch, Would that cause the starter to not engage? If so where is it located? Ive tried a different solenoid off of a old evinrude and that didn't help the issue.
Ive checked the wires at the battery and replaced the battery as well. When I try to crank it sometimes the starter moves a little. Ive bypassed the solenoid and hooked it right to the starter, it spins when i do that, but still doesn't help me with whats going on. Thank you for any help!

Re: Having issues starting.

Do you have the solenoid hooked up correctly? Double check all connections and let us know!

Re: Having issues starting.

You should have voltage on the starter side of the solenoid when it clicks, if not you have a bad solenoid. If the solenoid clicks all the rest of the circut should be good. You said that if you bypass the solenoid the starter spins, sounds lke you need a new solenoid.

Re: Having issues starting.

I really think its the solenoid now, I got the motor running by jumping that out and it stays running. So i really doubt its the safety switch at this point. I got a new one coming now I'll let you guys know if that was the issue once it gets here.
