try jumping the two term on the starter from the large batt+ to the smaller one (purple wire), That will test and take the wiring harness (from ing) out of the picture.
if it doesn't turn over.. take the start out and down to the local Autozone, Kragen, part store, etc and have them test both the start and solenoid.
Might be a bad solenoid ?

Big power wire comes in one side, and goes out on the other side to the starter motor. The solenoid receives a small charge (small wire) and tells the solenoid to CLICK and connect the main power together.
Sounds like your starter may be smoked. You could probably find a local alternator/starter shop and have them test it/fix it.

yea that would be your vats.My friends had similar problems it turned to to be that the starter is getting to hot because the headers are too close to it so he got a new started and problem solved.
