I have taken the starter out and had it tested, it's good, the battery is good, what else could it be.

Do you have power at the brown and white wire at the clutch switch while ignition switch at cranking position

Find the clutch interlock relay in relay box front left of engine compartment-test or swap with a like one and attempt to start nothing replace the ignition switch.

Hmmm, I am not sure. I had a mechanic here today, and he tested the starter and said it was the starter, so we took it off and ordered a new one, should be here at 4:30. Hopefully that works. We first had the starter tested at auto zone, but I think he told me it was good so I wouldn't buy the other one because his friend was in there and needed the starter. Bunch of bull, but whatever. I will let you know if that worked. Thanks for all your help, it is greatly appreciated. Hope you have a very merry x-mas.
