Sounds like the common problem of not enough current to activate the
solenoid.  Try a jumper at the solenoid from the large terminal with the
cable from the battery to the push on terminal where the wire from the
ign connects.  If this activates the starter, your problem may be solved
by using the "hard start" or "hot start" relay.
