Bingo!
It did not work after I installed the new electrical portion of the
ignition switch. The new switch was comparable the original I'd say. The
more I think about it, I think it's the wire from the ignition switch to
the solenoid.

Someone else on this list has offered that a 9 volt battery can help find
the problem; connect negative to ground and positive to your suspect wire, and
use a volt meter to find out where the problem lies.

Is there a safety switch that requires you to depress the clutch to start it?

Which of the terminals on the starter/solenoid are you jumping with
the screwdriver?
If it's the two big bolts with the heavy wires on them then the only
thing that will happen is that the starter will turn. Just what is
happening.
If you are jumping the big wire coming into the solenoid to

The first thing I'm checking when I get home is to put a light on the small
wire going from the ignition switch to the solenoid and see if that lights
up when someone turns they key for me.

Sounds like you are not getting the right terminals with the screwdriver.
You need the big top one and the little o e to engage the motor and
solenoid. If you just cross the big two only the starter motor will spin.

Neutral safety switch?
Or are you saying that you can crank it from the starter but the engine won't
fire?
If it's the starter won't turn when using the ignition key, you need to get a
test light and work backwards from the starter solenoid.
