You indicated that the fuel pump runs with S1 in Prime/Run so S10 is not the issue.

Do this with Dead Crank in NORMAL, Emergency Off Button Pulled Out and Battle Short OFF
Open the panel and with a flashlight watch K16 as you move S1 from OFF to Prime/Run. When you move S1 to that position do you see the K16 relay pull in?

K16 is the only relay that should pull in with S1 in Prime/Run and not running.

We're getting closer.
K16 has to pull in for the starter circuit to be enabled. Since it's not pulling the starter isn't going to work.

Does K12 pull in with S1 in Prime/Run?

OK, need to determine why K16 isn't pulling in when it should.
Here is the numbering of the terminals on the individual relay sockets. It shows K16 but it's the same for all of the sockets.
Terminals 4,5 & 6 are closest to the front panel on the lower row of the socket.
Terminals 7,8,9 are farthest from the front panel on the lower row of the socket.

With S1 in Prime/Run measure the DC voltage at K16-A and K16-B.
Both of those terminals are just behind the relay. Hopefully you have the top off of the control cube to see what you are doing.
K16-A should be ~24 volts DC and K16-B should be ~0-1 volts DC.
