 1987 212-6 wheelhorse with kawaski motor wont start before she quit  she started ran a minute and stalled and that was it I had been starting by jumping the solenoid so bought new starter and solenoid now she just hums when you turn the key and have the battery charger connected when you take the charger off nothing I got two batterys both the same could this be the rectifier

 The regulator rectifier is for the charging circuit not the starting circuit. Will it start if you jump the new solenoid?

Welcome to Red Square    Here is a link to the wiring diagram...this might help.  Sounds like something is not wired right.  Also, if you type "212-6" in the search box above, a lot of threads pop up for your horse.

I pulled the starter out and jumped the solenoid with the battery charger on an the the starter drive moves but amp gauge goes to wacky but if you put the gharger off nothing

    The first step in solving any electrical problem is to clean and tighten  ALL  electrical connections including grounds; this will solve 90% of them. Also, take your battery in and have it load tested.
