After you pull the stater take the solenoid apart and you will more than likely find the main contacts arched together. clean the contacts and put back together. Ground the starter to the negative terminal of the battery then use a starter jumper switch ( two wires with alligator clips and a momentary switch) connect one wire to the positive side of the battery and connect the second wire to the small spade terminal that you disconnected the ignition switch wire from. press the momentary switch and listen for the solenoid to energize and close the main contacts. if that works now use a jumper cable from the + battery terminal to the main power terminal on the solenoid (this is the one where the heavy wire was removed before pulling the starter from the car). The motor should not spin until you press the momentary switch and the drive gear will pop out to the starter position. If this all works then you can reinstall into the car.
