    Have someone try to start it and see if you see any sparks fly at the starter connection. A little corrosion and a hair loose and it will fail to turn even though every looks okay and tests 12V.

    If that isn't it check the starter solenoid.

    Do you get power on the small wire on the starter solenoid when you turn the key?

    Yes if I bypass the starter or the relay it will start but if I turn the key it does not even click but by turnin the key the power works on relay but does not turn over

    Sounds like a bad connection between relay, and starter solenoid. If I understand correctly, ignition and starter is fine. Check the power on the ougoing side of relay.
