Kind of embarrassed to say. Two things: first i thought the starter didn't work because when I depressed the stomp pedal nothing happened. So I depressed only the started switch button, by hand, and the starter spins but did not engage the flywheel. Thought there was a starter problem. Didn't remember, at the time, that the stomp pedal linkage engages the flywheel gear in the starter. Had to remove the starter before I realized my mistake. Put it all back together and depressed stomp pedal but got nothing. Same problem as when I started. Now on to the second issue. Figured out that the button on the starter switch did not have enough travel to engage the starter. So I put a spacer in the switch, reinstalled it and everything works now. Kind of a dumb mistake on my part.
