It sounds as though the solenoid is not being energized when the starter system is being engaged. I would recommend checking to verify there is a 16 gage jumper wire between the power terminal where you connected your starter cable and the small spade terminal between the two large terminals. This will supply power to the solenoid which will close the contacts, allow battery power to flow to the motor and mechanically engage the drive gear into the engine ring gear.
