Default FNR Solenoid wiring instructions 87 Marathon

Got dropped a cart and need some help getting going. New FNR and Solenoid installed still no go. Found diagrams on line but not sure its what i Need. Motor spun when jumped
i have:

FNR
A =S1 and MS2 blk wire
B = A2
C = BR+ and MS3 (on accelerator switch} blk wire.
D = Left side solenoid (looking down on it)
MS2 Navy wire to "A" FNR / Blk to back up buzzer
MS4 Red and white wire to MS3 on accelerator switch, blue to key and red to buzzer

Solenoid
left post = "C" FNR switch
right = accelerator switch
small post get yellow from key and blk to MS3

No click in solenoid. Do I need a power line directly to the solenoid? I have a diagram showing power from BL+ to "C" on the FNR and another showing power going directly to the left side of the solenoid. Seems power would flow thru the FNR to the Solenoid but not sure. Thanks in adavance

I'm not at home to verify if these are just for my 91 marathon. You can go to ezgo's website and view/download diagrams.

Solenoid activation is a separate circuit from the High Current cables. and so is the Throttle.
First attachment has High Current circuit highlighted.
Second attachment has Solenoid Activation circuit highlighted.
Third attachment has Throttle circuit (in Forward) highlighted.

Thanks tons, quick Q's
Are the B+,B-,M1, A2 connections all on the accelerator where the coil leads connect? if not where can I locate them.
Thanks again

The B+, B-, M- and A2 terminals are the four large connections on top of controller.

Thanks again. I don't think I have a controller. Is that possible?
I have
Textron 428890
Manf. Code C1287
A 1987 i'm thinking. Are the copper coils the controller? or the Swisher I'm calling it?
the dohickey that the coil wires bolt to?
appreciate all the help....wouldn't know i rebuild VW's....this thing is killing me!

Ooops! Thought you had a controller cart instead of a resistor drive.

You have a four speed cart, in the three lower speeds there are resistors coils in series with the motor and battery is connected to it directly in top speed.

The coils get red hot when driving at the slower speeds, so be careful about driving in tall grass.

Here are schematics with solenoid activation and High Current circuits highlighted.

thanks again for the help...
wired everything as shown and no luck.
My cart has 3 micros switches.
2 on the "front" side of the FNR switch and one on the board that has the connections from the coils and the accelerator pedal.
they all have 3 leads. COM, NO,NC.
the switch came with one MS (on the right) with the red buzzer wire attached. I see 2 on the diagram and am stumped.
My blk buzzer wire goes to BR- not the solenoid like the diagram. does it matter?
thanks

JohnnieB - please take a good look at the solenoid image in the drawings. It looks like they are showing the "mods" to the solenoid and not the symbol for the solenoid itself. Apparently they are using a resistor between the high current terminals and a diode between the pull in coil terminals. OK. I would think the pull in coil terms should be the ones marked + and - and not the high current terms. The "+" should be at the 9 o'clock term - the + feed from the key - and the "-" should be on the 3 o'clock term - the ground from the bat- post on the controller. Follow me?
