Mark:
Many thanks for your very informative reply. By starter switch, I was referring to the key switch which one normally turns to start the engine. It is attached to the small terminal on the top of the solenoid. I have tried every thing you have mentioned to no avail. I have pretty much ruled out a faulty solenoid by taking the starter back to the rebuilder who showed me that it works. I question my ground from the battery terminal, but I still had no luck when I grounded it with a jumper cable from the positive terminal to the block. I am now of the opinion that the answer is covered in your last paragraph. Maybe my 8 volts reading belies the fact that I don't have much in the way of amps. I just thought I would still get a click from the solenoid. My next effort will be to try to get some diagnostic help by running a jump from my always trusty starting JD MT.

I have taken all the precautions you mentioned except for removing the coil wire; why is this neccessary?. Your input is greatly appreciated
