A 12V solenoid is a simple device with a coil. If all the contacts are good and you have the right voltage and amps and its jumped and nothing happens, you have a bad coil/solenoid.
You might want to run a ground jumper wire to the starters frame, that would cover it all.

I will ask the electric wiz kid that question at work tomorrow.
Sorry to hear this. I'm sure it is frustrating.

Since you tried 2 solenoids, a poor ground on the starter motor seems the only thing left. How that could happen I have no clue.

I'm rooting for the wiz kid!
