12 volts
Probably you have a safety switch problem or voltage drop through several safety switches

I don’t understand what you are asking about
The main battery cable to ground will be 12 volts and the small “fire “wire will have 12 volts when switch is in the start position

I think that is what he was asking…
But just to add a small point for the OP, if there is a issue with the safety circuit feeding the small terminal, the required 12 volts will not be there When it should be.
Russell, sorry if I'm a little obtuse. When I turn the key to on, do the 12 volts emanate from the switch, thru the circuit to the solenoid? In other words, when I put my tester on the black and white striped wire on the switch connection, should it read 12 volts?

If all the safety switches are working then the answer is yes.
If a safety switch is failed completely you should get ZERO volts. This would mean that you would have to figure out which switch has failed. Most people would start bypassing one switch then seeing if it cranks then two then see and bypass all switches until it cranks. Then hook up switch one and see if it still works, then switch two until all previous bypassed switches are back in the circuit.
If one or more are are corroded or failing somehow you can see less than 12 volts but probably more than zero volts. You can probably add a relay to repair this. Relay would provide 12 volts directly from the battery when the fire wire delivers a few volts to the relay to close the relay

Russell, thanks for the help. I did a direct connect from the starter switch to the solenoid. It works. This is an old machine that we just use to pull a wagon around. It'll do fine.
