When I gave the directions on things to probe you weren't suppose to put S1 in START, only to the Prime/Run position.
I gotta sign off, go do some grilling and have dinner with the family.

There is a very slim chance, that it could have been the A2, (fault Indicator panel). Saw the problem only a few times. The A2 controls not just the lights, but also the funtion to shut the set off, or even restart it, if the A2 has not been reset after a fault.

If you had 24 volts at both K16-A and K16-B with S1 in Prime/Run and the engine was NOT running then it points to a possible issue with S14.
S14 is on the far left of the row of relays.
S14 is suppose to switch K16-B to ground causing K16 to pull in with S1 in Prime/Run and the engine was NOT running.

A couple of more voltage measurements needed with S1 in Prime/Run and the engine was NOT running
1) Measure the DC voltage at S14-7 It should be ~ 24 volts DC
2) Measure the DC voltage at S14-8 It should be ~0 volts DC
3) Measure the DC voltage at S14-1 It should be ~0 volts DC
4) Measure the DC voltage at K16-B It should be ~0 volts DC

Let us know what you find
