craftsmans 42 starter wont engage

Jimmy Forester

I have a craftsman 42" with a kohler cv15s. It was working fine yesterday and today i came home to find out the cylinder had flooded with fuel. Once i pulled the spark plug and all the fuel drained out, the motor turns over just fine. The problem is the starter isn't getting any power. I think i may have burned something up while the motor was hydrolocked. I jumpered from the battery to the starter and it turned over fine. What are some possible causes for power to not get to the starter and how can i test each piece?
