Thanks!
Started to do a compression check but it was around 2 am and I kept melting wires so I'll figure it out tomorrow..
Btw, does anyone know which wires go where to jump the starter?

Try hooking your power up in a more... less ghetto manner, lol.
Then take a prybar or something and jump the terminals on the starter... at least that trick works with most 'murican and japanese starters. Got a pic of your starter?Comment

Ghetto is the name of the game! JK I'll give that a shot. I'll get a pic of the starter shortly

yeah that's kinda tight... might have to settle for a screwdriver. I'm referencing the bottom picture here - jump the top two posts.
Just be careful that there's no combustibles around when you do this, cuz this method of 'hot starting' can throw sparks.Comment

Ok I hooked power up the the red wire and the solid white wire. I had the body of the starter grounded and it spun while laying on the floor but when I bolted it up it wouldn't spin. Just the gear would engage

Is your block grounded back to your battery?Comment

I found that I had to engage the bendix before hitting the motor solenoid for it to work. Could that be your issue?sigpic
