Default No power to solenoid nothing when press gas

I have an 89 3pg. She was running great no issues after some help from this forum. I ran it for about 6 months and then decided to tear it down and paint. Never touched the motor did anything to it just took all the plastics off to paint. It did sit for quite sometime before I finished and finally started putting humpty back together but when I got ready to test drive nothing. No clicks not starter spinning nothing. I checked the pedal switch and it is good. I jumped the solenoid still nothing it is like she is dead. I cannot read wire diagrams no matter how hard I try I can't picture the paths so I don't know where to go from here.

I'm going to guess at 2 possibilities here. Dead battery, or you accidently disconnected a major ground connection.

First things first. You need a digital multimeter. Battery voltage should be 12.74 volts for a fully charged battery.

Did you remove the key switch for paint?

I bypassed key switch when I first bought it.

If you jumped the big posts you have a problem as others described above.

Any other thoughts... like I said nothing was touched other than sitting for a while.
I took a test light to the body of the starter gen and pos post of the battery and it lights so the starter is grounded.
