When I place the start switch to start nothing happens. I can jump the starter with no problems. Basically I have no power to the stater selnoid from the start relay. How common does this part go bad? There is power when the switch is set to start on the k1 relay at terminal A1-2 but not at A1-1.

Looks like the wrong item to me. Just got home and no time to dig up the correct part number and picture. Two identical relays in the control box, one for starter and other for heaters. One is above the other. Check them.

Looking at the complete schematic it looks like I also need to check for power comming from terimanal 11 on the start switch s1 that would feed relay k3 a-1 to a-2

Check the starter cut out switch. Jump it at the plug by the oil filter, if it cranks after that then clean the contacts on the switch. The contacts are behind the cover on the right of the oil filter.
