guess you checked the starter before fitting?
connect up jump leads to battery, find a good earth for the negative and go straight to starter with the other end, if it goes then look for poor earths/solenoid

its worth checking the earth straps and cleaning em up. check solenoid. A lot of blokes short out the solenoid terminals with a heavy duty insulated screwdriver which bypasses it to allow battery voltage to the starter. Im not a fan of that and can be dangerous.
Id get a multimeter and check voltage before and after the solenoid to rule out a faulty solenoid. It might be coming from the ign switch as well?Doc.

Hi, are you certain the battery is good? I've had this same problem on quite a few vehicles and every time but one it was the battery at fault. As someone else said though, get a multi meter, check everything with it, clean up the earths and all contacts.
