problem starting 78 mercury 800

[zcrenshaw zcrenshaw01]

My motor has done this once before. But i turn the key and it won't turn over. But i can get it to turn over jumping the solenoid. I moved the motor and wired it all back to the original wiring and Im getting nothing. And suggestions??

wiggle the throttle handle while turning the key. Maybe the neutral interlock switch went bad?
