So I did a few tests today...

1) I checked the voltage on the battery (read 12.8v)
2) checked all the fuses with a test light (all were good)
3) I jumped the connection posts on starter solenoid (got crank)
4) jumped from positive of battery to starter (starter cranked)
5) I opened up and checked start button/kill switch (all clean & ok/but if that didn't work, I wouldn't get the 'click', right?)
6) checked all wiring and connections (all clean and have tight connections)

I tried to check for continuity from solenoid to starter but got NOTHING! (after trying several times pressing the start button)

Shouldn't I be able to get a reading from the starter???

Does this mean my solenoid is bad??? What am I doing/or not doing correctly to isolate what my problem is????
