HELP! 71 Johnson won't turn over after LU seal change

[70wellcraft]

OK, my 71 Johnson 100hp 4 cyl. will not turn over. I have a good battery connection as I can the motor tilt and electric choke work fine. It was starting fine until I took my lower unit off and replaced all the seals. I put it back together and put in nuetral and nothing. No solenoid trying to engage the starter or nothing. My fear is that something happened to the electric shift solenoid wires when I put the LU back in. Maybe one broke or crossed another somehow?? I wish I had a schematic or manual to trouble shoot but I don't. I am hoping for the good hearted people on this forum to help me out
Thanks
Dave

Well, it wasnt anything to do with the LU wires, but it was the throttle start safety switch on the throttle linkage near the carb. I messed with it before I started the motor after the LU re-assembly. Lesson learned is only mess with one thing at a time. Thanks to JWBMarine.
