Jumped as in the battery is dead? or Jumped as in at the starter solenoid?
If it is at the solenoid. Check the Neutral safety switch.
Also. Check the yellow wire on the starter Solenoid and see if it ig getting power when you turn the ignition switch into the start position?

Jumped the battery. It acts like it doesn't hold a charge. I will try tomorrow to see if the yellow wire on the starter solenoid is getting power

No it wants to start but what happens is it doesn't so I have to give it a jump it's like the battery is low on charge and then it'll die while I'm turning the ignition over
