starter motor wiring ?

[KIWIINGENUITY]

This is not actualy for isuzu, but keep it on the down low haha shhh. anyway i have a early hj45 landcruiser with a 3b diesel in it, but it has been savataged and all the wires have been cut, so i keept it simple and wired the fuel pump to a switch and then i thought i wired the starter motor up to a switch but it didnt work, so i got it fixed, turns out the solinoid was rusted haha. so i put it back on and it still doesnt go ? i gues iv wired it wrong ? it just doesnt turn over, you can push start it easy and it goes good but i want to use the starter motor , it doesnt make a noise, i wired it up like the diagram below
cheers for your help

Have you got a good earth between engine/starter and the body/battery?
Does the starter crank with a screwdriver blade across it's terminals?

i put a earth lead on the battery that goes from the battery to a bolt on the motor which goes to a bolt on the chasse and then the starter motor is bolted on , so it should be earthed good. when i put a screw driver over the 1 terminal and lean it against the starter motor it sparks a lot but doesnt crank it

if you cross the termanils on the starter and it still doesn't crank, the starter is probley stuffed,and you did have it wired right
