I had the same problem with my 83, new starter brushes took care of it.

The 4 wires on the solenoid can be wrong when installing an aftermarket part. You have to check which is which. The 2 terminals that have power all the time are to be connected to the red and red/white wires, either one to either terminal, the other 2 wires go to the other 2 terminals, either one to either terminal.

B (battery) and M (motor) connections make no difference. Attach the cables for the physical fit and don't worry about the B and M being backwards. Does not matter.

Yes it does matter, the powered spade terminals are connected to the B terminal, if the battery is connected to the M terminal there will be no power to the electrical system.

Don't worry about the clutch switch yet. If the neutral light comes on when in neutral and you get power to the yellow/red wire when you push the button and ground on the green/red your start circuit is good. Then with the trans in gear and the clutch pulled it should ground the green/red wire.

I'm done. If you won't pay attention I can't help.
