[QUOTE="Blacksheep, post: 122776, member: 21955"] It has been mentioned but too often Grounds are the issue in a no start...(key, cables, solenoid, relay, etc) but the main ground cable AND the STARTER need good clean contact grounds to function properly....even though the starter was changed, (should have done a bench test before) if you didn't clean the block area that the starter fastens too it may be lacking a proper ground. As to contacts burned that usually happens when you insist on continueing to try to start the engine with a battery that is too low to both flip engine over and power up the ignition. So the low amps turn the contacts into an arc welder, pitting and adding carbon trails till it fails to function at all. Starter out or in the frame and bench test that it works...then back trail the wire till the culprit is found in my case its some where between the starter and the key and i cant find it.....so i put in a separate wire and switch with fuse and can use that to start till it shows up.
