Isent my Curtis 1206mx off for repair...(great guy to do business with)
Got it back in 6-7 days.Along with some test procedures.(I'll post later)
I had already replaced the ITS and microswitch,solenoid,one battery and a few cables.
Still no go...but after jumping the sloenoid...the **** thing finally moved.
Replaced the solenoid...AGAIN...now it finally runs once more.

The problem might be the voltage being used to energize it isn't high enough to activate the other solenoids and you just happened to find one that worked at a lower voltage.
The solenoid activation voltage has to go through 4 switches (3 if reed switch is bypassed), 4 PCB runs and 8 plug/jack interfaces to get the the small terminal with the yellow wire on it, then it goes through another plug/jack interface and another PCB run to get to the Main Coil Driver and who know what to get to the B- terminal on the controller. That is at least a dozen and a half potential problem areas that need to be checked.
Fortunately, most of it can be eliminated with one voltage measurement.
When the solenoid is energized, you ought to have very close to full battery pack voltage between the two small terminals. If you don't, there is excessive resistance someplace in the voltage path.
