I left the positive battery cable connected to the input terminal of the solenoid or relay switch. I did this to test the ignition key start switch. I next connected a jumper wire to the output terminal of the solenoid, (leaving the red cable wire attached to the solenoid and starter motor)and the other end of the jumper wire connected to the pos. wire on my multi meter. Also grounded the meter to the tractor frame. I wanted to see if I was getting 12 volts down to the starter. When I turned the ignition key to the start position the meter read 11 volts and I could hear a hum or buzz but no starter movement.
