try another fender mounted solenoid. i have had some new out of the box be bad. Also make sure you have the ignition wires connected correctly.

if you dont have a Haynes or Chiltons manual i suggest you get one

you might want to check the starter too. it could be dragging. check the battery cables after getting them hot. look at the ends.

if its been sitting the carb might need some help too. put some fresh gas and some stabilize in it.
