trace the power backwards,start at the key,then to the starter,then the soliniod if you got power eveywhere else,check the fuse in the main power wire (if it has one it will be very big and on the back of the motor),as always I will say this,if you are not sure what you are doing,seek professional help,it may save you alot of time and agravation!,do you know how to use a volt meter?

On many of these engines the is also a fuse located on the large terminal on the starter it looks like a square block with a nut that hols 1 wire see if there is power there.It gets the power from the large wire on the starter.
