A bit confused. You say you are getting 6v at switch and 6v at solenoid yet no action at solenoid unless you jump the switch???
The switch could be at fault so one way to check is to remove wires again and place an ohmmeter across the terminals while you try the pedal. Should be a 0 or very low ohm reading happening about the time the pedal is maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 inch from floor. Any resistance at all is suspect.
The switch can be taken apart and inspected. Just follow the instructions and do pay particular attention to the orientation of the contact and number of shims as they mention. Here is an enlarged photo of switch from Service Counselor Vol 17 #1 showing the "W" shaped contact referred to very clearly.

Getting 6 v. at the carburetor switch.
At the starter solenoid I am getting 6 volts.
I didn't reroute anything. It is original stock wiring.
I can hear the click at the carburetor when depressing the gas pedal. The linkage to the switch below the pedal is engaging...
Still puzzled... It starts when jumping the carburetor switch, however when started it runs for a short time and then quits. As if it is not getting enough gas.
Thanks for the help guys!
