Answer
Joel,
with your clutch in, side stand up and kill button
off, you should get power to the starter
solenoid when you push the starter button.
The battery connects to one side of the solenoid
and the starter to the other bigger post.
The solenoid connects these two, sending power
to your starter.
Use a test light and check for power
on the smaller solenoid wires when you push the
starter button.
If there is none, you have to trace the wires
from the fuses to the starter button,
they may run through your ignition switch.
