I checked all the ground connections, all are tight and clean. Checked
battery connections are tight.
I took out the starter motor and connected it to a good fully charged
battery directly. There was some spark when I initially connect it to the
starter motor, but the motor never spins. So, I

Bridge the posts on the solenoid, if the bike starts then you know the
starter works.
Looking at the wiring diagram you should get +12v on the yellow/red wire
when you press the starter button. Also you should have connectivity to
ground on the Green/Red wire provided you have the bike in neutral.
And check tightness of battery cables.

Yea if you jumped the solenoid posts then I'd say the starter is bad. Your

Check and clean all of the wire connectors going to the solenoid.
Preferably pull all of the wire connectors on the harness and hit them with
contact cleaner and a brush, then reconnect with some dielectric grease.
Doing this every few years will save you the aggravation of issues like

I had two sets of carbs to work with and I cleaned them both
thoroughly , including all passage ways and jets - no enrichment
valves on this bike. The choke really is a choke. I tried both
sets of carbs and the results were the same. Graham

That makes sense because it seems more a time related issue than
