Namco Classics Volume 1 PCB- player 2 start won't start

Hi, I have a nice working Namco Classics Volume 1 PCB, just bought it, all colors and games work great (Galaga, Mappy, Xevious) ;However, games can only be played in one player mode.
Tested in a two known working Jamma two player cab setup. Loaded with credits, still player two start does nothing. Went into test mode, tested controls, second player joystick and buttons detected, but p2 start is not detected. This p2 start button does work with 60 in 1 pcb. Pcb looks clean and #17 of Jamma pcb looks good (P2 start on Jamma neck). Any ideas:))))) ??????
Thanks in advance

Run a wire from the jamma connector p2 start to the p2 start button and do the same for the ground or you can loop the ground from another button which is easier and quicker to do. Also check the cherry swich as they always go bad. U could even borrow the ground from another butoon too.

If both of these check out fine then your board is the issue
 
IIRC, the player 2 controls were only used on cocktail cabinets. You'd use player 1 controls as player 2.
 
Two player start button

Thanks for the reply:) I understand what you said about using player 1 controls as player 2. But when I push the player 2 start button nothing happens. The game will only start if I push the player 1 button.
Thanks
