using a test lite check small wire from ing switch and see if when you turn on to start if the lite comes on if it does its a faulty coil if not its the switch or even posibly a safety switch

Replace solenoid first, then check the wire from starter switch to starter solenoid, then chack wire on starter switch, if it will not start OK, then replace starter switch.
