Ok, at least we know that problem is starter-solenoid is not getting activation signal from start-button circuit. White wire connects directly to battery +terminal so it should have power at all times. It feeds power input to ignition switch. If voltage dropped 1.3v in getting to ignition switch, you've got wiring problems.

0.00ohm (or 0.L) from neutral switch when in gear or not. This one did fluctuate on Ohm a little before settling to 0.00Ohm after a couple seconds.
Now idea behind switch is that it changes states when ON or OFF. So switches should change readings when you flip them if they were working properly. It's highly unlikely that all three of these switches would be broken at exact same time. We can only conclude:

1. you are using meter incorrectly to measure resistance (ohms) and/or...
2. you are connecting to wrong terminals to test these switches.

First, review this video on how to use multimeter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLkPtmnglOI
What brand & model multimeter are you using?

This is good test of your multimeter skillz:

1. pull headlight fuse and measure resistance between legs. How many ohms?
2. pull low-beam headlight bulb and measure resistance of bulb. How many ohms?
