Disconnect the heavy supply & any other leads from the starter then
disconnect the battery leads, with engine disconnected & "off" use some
jumper leads pos & neg from the battery direct to the starter just to
give it a very quick hit to ensure it's OK. You may need to use a little
jumper to powerup the solenoid.

Did the above and the pinion jumped up right there to try and engage the
flywheel. I hope that shows my starter is still good (they are expensive).
Every place I could see to test the voltage on the solenoid and starter
connections showed good voltage. I'm guessing now I have a bad solenoid?
