83' GSL, Starter/Ignition issue

Ive struggled with starter issues for over a year, replaced starter and battery terminals/wires about 2 1/2 months ago. Was working just fine until my brother in-law and I got roudy and ended up digging through the dirt/grass with the under carriage. Got it home, and since then it wont start. No click, no crank- nothing.

So far I have pushed it into the garage, replaced the end of the ignition wire (it was falling off before), checked all my +/- connections from battery to starter and purchased one of those remote start things, connects +/- on starter and has a button (to bypass the key cranking). edit:<--- remote starter did make the starter spin, but didnt crank the engine.

I'm at a loss, and not mechanically inclined enough at this point to understand the problem. Off of work in 1.5 hours, then it's 1782 whiskey, sprite and off to the garage to tinker. Maybe it'll do a tune up and pull out the choke while I'm at it ><

Thanks for any tips that may or may not come!

Either solenoid is dead or you've got the wire going to the solenoid unconnected or on the wrong post.
