" When I apply 12V positive to the solenoid it operates.
What should I do to get power here ?"
Since his MH does start and run, I thought he meant applying 12v to the input side as from the engine battery. Others think he meant applying 12v to the solenoid in the middle where the ignition wire goes that opens and closes the solenoid.
Seems there is a fuse on that little wire that can blow but the rest of the run circuit still works if I got that right from above posts.
So if the latter case, another thing that came up before is if the MH has one of those three-position emergency start buttons on the dash. ISTR with those, the wire to open/close the solenoid comes from that instead of from the ignition run like on my MH that does not have the emerg start on dash feature.
And if that, there might be a different fuse for it or some fault in the emerg start wiring button set-up for the OP to look for?
