I just replaced a faulty ignition switch due to start detent not working. Now I have no voltage at the new switch. (old switch had voltage)
I have voltage to solenoid but no starter, no trim and no choke.
Battery terminals are clean and tight. Also I have double checked wiring hook-up into switch.
Is there a fuse between the solenoid and ignition switch? I haven't been able to find one.

Thanks for any ideas,
Bill...

yes there is a fuse (a little 20 amp puppy) usually near the solenoid in a little red or black fuse holder, only 1 1/2 inch long.
