thanks jump across soleniod and sounded like starter did not engage could this be problem
finally completed the wiring checks found not broken wires and all safety switches are working properly, got it to turn over, but have a new problem when the key switch gets to the run position the engine try's to start vice waiting till it gets to the start position on the key switch and the starter solenoid continues to push starter shaft up onto the flywheel

any ssuggestion would be great

Could you have the start and run wires on the key switch shorted or reversed? If the wiring is OK, then you may need a new key switch.

Then there a wiring problem. Voltage is being applied to K1 Relay when ignition switch is put in run position. The S2 terminal of the ignition only has voltage on it in the start position. So it sounds like S2 and A terminals wires are switched around. Easily done when you not paying attention or don't know what you are doing when the terminals are remove the connector housing.

This should be the pin out for the switch.
