Have 12+ volts, but still- starting problem

If you have power coming from the key switch when you turn it to start on the small wire going to the solenoid, then yes go for a new one.

Yes, you did say solenoid on page one but we also had a safety switch wire disconnected so we were trying to diagnose all the problems and sometimes it takes extra time. You and I could have used a test light and/or meter and diagnosed this in minutes but when you have someone who is new to all this you have to walk them through it. No harm done, it's all good.
