Check that the battery terminals are tight, and make sure you reattached the earth cable to one of the starter motor bolts.
1. How did you check the battery! 2. Have you bench tested the replacement starter motor before fitting it!

OK, the next thing you do is, lightly tap the starter with a hammer whilst cranking the key. Let us know what happens.

I suspect fuel issue.
Did you google it! It might be a common issue.

What do you mean old school! There are plenty of outfits that still do that today.
