Your saying, or what I'm reading is it won't crank. Are you shorting a screwdriver across the solenoid post's? If so, I'd say the solenoid needs replaced. I've done a zillion in the past 50 years pulling them apart, and either sanding the disk smooth, or flipping it over. With that, the contact to the disk is probably burned. Solenoids aren' that exspensive
'I guess replacing the starter wasn't replacing the solenoid?
