Just stick a screw driver between the tow nuts on the solenoid and see if it turns over. If it doesn't then you have no power to the solenoid.

Apparently, you don't understand how the starter system works. The ignition switch (when turned to 'start' position) sends voltage to the STARTER SOLENOID; if the solenoid functions properly, it will send voltage to the starter. If it does not work properly, THERE WILL BE NO VOLTAGE SENT TO THE STARTER AND IT WILL NOT TURN.
If the Neutral Start Switch is bad, then NO VOLTAGE will be sent to the starter solenoid. That's why you need to check for voltage at the "S" terminal on the solenoid when the ignition key is turned to 'start' position.
This is my last attempt at trying to help you. It's a simple task to do the voltage check and, from the results, know what part to fix. If you choose not to do it, so be it.....

Problem solved ...
First off thanks for all the input. I have had success with my starting problem.
As it turned out it was the starter so roughly $100 later I have my baby back up and running ...
Thanks again guys ...
