When I bought my not-really-needed solenoid, the counter guy at Hermey's said he didn't recall ever selling on for any new Bonneville. I should have heeded that advice instead of blindly replacing it.....

Nope, never took a Triumph one apart but numerous others. As long as contact is made between the main contacts, things happen.
Speaking of symptoms, what was the problem? No start at all times or when certain conditions were met? That could be caused by any number of items already mentioned. The check for the solenoid is to apply power to the control lead to get the plunger to move. I think you said yours worked when you jumpered it. Leads me to believe you could have a problem with something other than the solenoid.
1. starter button
2. starter relay
3. clutch switch
4. neutral switch
5. sidestand switch
6. fuses
7. kill switch
8. wiring
