Default Ezgo Marathon will not move

I have a stock 93 ez go marathon controller cart. I am in the process of restoring it and I cannot get it to move. Temporarily I have 3 12 volts hooked up and I have 38volts on batteries. I replaced the microswitch that is attched to the linkage. Currently I cant attach that linkage from the petal but I can press it manually. Also Just to try to get it to run I have a toggle switch hooked up instead of a key switch. When I flip the toggle switch I can hear the solenoid click but when I press the petal there is no click. When toggle switch is on the on position and I engage the microswitch I can hear a click in the solenoid. I do not beleive it is welded shut, but it could have a problem.The black and white wires coming from potbox that go to double microswitch are currently not hooked up. I have Attemped tests pertaining to voltage on controller and have found that the controller is fine.Everything spins, so I dont beleive motor is seized or anything. Wondering if microswitch is causing all these problems, or bad solenoid, or maybe I have my 12v wired up incorrectly. Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like the problem is in the solenoid activation circuit. Follow this diagram below to see where the power stops......

Thanks for the reply Scott. All wiring in diagram is correct. How do I test the voltage in said circuit? I have 38 volts on sol, when I step on pedal it is not affected. When toggle switch is "off" (same as key off) voltage at sol goes down to 36.4, why? Where do I test w/my leads?

Should solenoid click (thump) when key is turned on?
