Starter works when off. Solonoid gets juice. Jumping it doesn't make a difference. Battery is good. Motor cranks by hand... I'm feeling retarded here.

What i do when that happens, is tap the side of the starter with a hammer, just to see if it might be a brush issue. Then I ohm check my ground, negative battery to motor. Then I clean my battery clamps and and poles.

I've wacked it a few times. I'll try adding grounds with jumper cables. My battery is behind the passenger seat and the negative is on the tranny tunnel. All new connectors.

I would really recommend a piece of welding cable from the ground on the starter, back to the battery.
