Have you checked to see if there is power on the starter when the ign is turned to the start(crank) position. Also you can check for power on the red/blue wire on the solenoid, again with the switch in crank position...

That's assuming you remembered to plug the little rubber-hooded wire onto the new solenoid, and on the right terminal (some have two).  I assume the starter spins if you "jump" the two big terminals on the solenoid with a screwdriver?
