Thanks for the wiring help,
My next problem is i have everything wires up i turn the key and i just get a 'click' 'click' sound, it doesnt seem to be the starter because i can jump the starter and it runs fine also when i disconnect the starter it still clicks, battery shows 12 and a half volts of the meter so its good and strong,
Any ideas? on what i should look at/ test

Thanks

Test the voltage coming out of the solinoid to the starter.
