Picked up a 200e, fixed some carb issues and the electric start fired it right up. But after riding it for the first time and parking it, 3 days later the electric start won't work anymore.

It will start if I jump the starter solenoid, so I replaced the solenoid. Both fuses under the seat are intact. I took the headlight off and jumped the two starter button wires together, and got nothing, so it's not a bad connection at the switch.

What next? Neutral switch? I think I read somewhere that the neutral switch cuts spark, so I'm not sure if that would be my problem.

Does the battery have gas in it?
