key switch not cranking motor
 
I have power to the switch and when you turn the switch the test light
goes off. So there is power when you try to crank it. The starter is good and the solenoid is good. Is there another solenoid on the motor somewhere? Thanks.

dont know what motors you have but most have the solinoid on the starter and then a slave solinoid, usually on the mounting plate that the wiring harness plug is attached to. the key activates the slave which sends power to the starter solinoid.

Try to bypass the Nuetral Safety coming off of your Thottle/Shifter, (should be a yelow with red stripe wire) if the engine turns over you have isolated the problem. Coud be a simple adjustment to the internal switch or a faulty switch that needs replacement.
