Did you verify that the engine actually physically turns manually when you put a breaker bar on the crankshaft? I've seen starters that are weak and work find without a load on a bench, but when engaged with a cold engine give up. Check to see if the engine turns first, then, ensure you have a strong battery with good cabling. Install known good starter if all else has tested good.
