Hi Sherwood - in the 70, the solenoid wire goes from the ignition switch to a connector near the cdi box - it then routes to a second connector - at this point it splits and goes to the starter and the temperature time switch.
I'll try to jump the solenoid directly from the battery to see what happens.

You can confirm the solenoid and starter operates by temporarily connecting a jumper wire from the battery cable at the starter to the #50 wire terminal on the solenoid. A remote starter switch makes this temp. connection less intimidating from 4' away. Don't forget to shift into neutral and chock a front tire.
