What are the pins for the starter relay?
Both the ignition switch (pins 7-8 and 2-1) and starter relay contacts (pins 5-3) must measure a resistance of less than 1 ohm during the “start” function. You might try bridging the neutral safety switch as an experiement also, as if that resistance is too high you’ll get uneven operation of the start function.
