Ignition Problem

I recently bought a 1972 911T. It doesn't run. The previous owner left it in his garage for the last 20 years. I'm having problems getting the starter to run with the ignition switch. I've performed many tests; however, the following two test are key.

1. Jumper terminal 30 and 50 on the starter solenoid. Results were as expected. The starter engaged and the motor turned over.
2. With the yellow wire removed from terminal 50, I engaged the ignition switch as if I was trying to start the car. At the same time, I measured the voltage between the lifted yellow wire and ground. I got ~12Vdc as would be expected.

It's almost as if their is too much resistance between the starter at terminal 50 and the ignition switch.

HELP!!!
