Default "75 Ironhead starter circuit

I have a service manual on order, but kind of do not want to wait a week to try and get my bike running. Anyone happen to have a wiring diagram of the starter circuit? I my leg is tired just thinking about spending all day trying to get it started with the kick start...

I know my solenoid engages and my starter spins as I jumped them to check operation, however the start switch on the bars does not do anything. I do not feel like physically tracing wires.

Any help would be appreciated.

Don't forget, there's a starter relay, (not pictured) between the starter switch and the starter solenoid.

Cool, any idea as to where they would hide the fuses? The circuit breakers are fairly easy to find but I am have a pickle of a time seeing any fuses.

NVM about the fuses, seems one of the previous owners thought he was smarter than the engineers and rewired the back half of the wiring harness. Different colors and all....

Can't help with the fuses, the stock harness doesn't have any. Just circuit breakers, under the seat.
