Did you verify the 12 V starting signal is coming down the wire to the solenoid? Also, you can use the screwdriver trick to jumper the Main 12v terminals to see if it spins the starter

No, I haven't done either of those.

I actually have no idea how to. Let me go hunt for a writeup.

EDIT: Could it be a bad switch on the clutch? How can I check that?

Thats what I suggested too....I have had that wire vibrate off several times before.
