So I checked it out a little before work today. Wires look ok and the more I mess with it I can get it to electric start intermittently but can't pinpoint cause. Very frustrating. Are u aware if I can bypass key switch successfully to determine for sure were problem is. Hate to just shoot another part at it and get same results

According to the schematic at the terminal board, jump the Red/Black and Red wire coming from the key switch to turn on power. Jump the Red/White to White/Red wire coming from the left control start button. This should engage the starter and the engine should crank.

Polaris is real nice about making all switches easy to disassemble and clean contacts and put a little dielectric grease but still didn't fix problem. So I used jumper wire to send power down white with red stripe wire going to start solenoid and will start and run
everytime. So I'm not using green push button to start. I just can't believe that it would be left side switch there is nothing to them when I took apart????

Ok!!! It getting really weird. If I touch my test to light white/red wires when tryiing to start to watch for power will start and run perfect every time using left switch start button. But if I run just jump wire will not work

Did you leave the black wire unplugged?? It receives it's signal to over ride when from the etc switch in the throttle housing.
