The 2nd small terminal (the other one one goes to the starter ignition starter switch) on the solenoid gets it’s ground through the position-sensing mercury switch on the throttle linkage. If the mercury switch is bad, or the throttle turned up too far, the solenoid coil does not have ground on one end and the solenoid will not energize.
