That is correct I'm confident it is just the solenoid, I ordered a new one I'll confirm when I put it in...

So as an update, I made some leads and used a high amp switch to jump across the solenoid. Jumping the solenoid would turn the starter over with no issues, I was even able to get the ski started jumping the solenoid, so seems like the contacts in my solenoid are able to create a voltage...

Well let's see some pics!
