Default 2003 Traxter 500 XT starter solenoid issues?

I've been putting this Traxter together now for 3 months off and on. I bought it in pieces and assembled it through trial and error. I've had the MPEM repaired by Burl Finkelstein. So one major problem solved.
Now i have a new problem. The engine won't crank via electric start. I can pull it over (can't start it this way for some reason) so i know it's not seized. I have replaced both the starter (because it was getting power, now i know it wasn't 12V) and nothing. I then figured out it wasn't being sent 12V from the solenoid and i replaced that but it still isn't getting 12V. So I went to my good buddy Google and now I'm here to ask if I'm doing this correct or not.



Obviously i get 12V to the main stud.
These are without the start button pressed :
LH pin gets 11.86 DC and has 19.3 ohms.
RH pin has 11.81 DC and has 18.6 ohms.

​​​​​​With brake lever pulled and start pushed:
LH gets 4.8 DC and 1.74 Ohms.
RH get 6.3 DC and 1.73 Ohms.
These voltages are just what i remember seeing as they are very quick to disappear and change.

I feel like I did it right but it makes no sense to me why my voltage drops so much when start is pressed.

Can someone help me out. With enough time and money i can get this thing running again 🤣.
