1982 ezgo won't go

[balki]

Problem: new solenoid - 36V to non-live side of solenoid turns motor, F/R works, speed control works while solenoid jumped - solenoid works fine in another cart - no response with normal connections. Microswitch seems to do it's job - small terminals on solenoid seem to read ok after throttle pushed. All readings seem to match another EZGO except no joy in normal mode. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
