Hello Friends!!!

Problem solved!! First of all, thanks to everyone who took the time to respond and help me figure this whole thing out! Long story short, it was the right arm safety switch!! Wow! That was it! I replaced the solenoid initially thinking that was the issue. Then the ignition switch. Still nothing. After reading all the comments and suggestions here, someone suggested to check all the safety switches. It turned to be that the right-hand switch was not making contact with the chassis when I spread out the right arm. I was able to manually press it down then turn the ignition key and bam! It cranked right up! I loosened the nut and adjusted the switch position. Solved! I can't believe that was it, I feel like an idiot for taking so long to figure this out. Sorry, but I'm really trying. I'm no badass mechanic. Still learning. A million thanks to you all for taking the time to help out a total stranger.
