    There are only two wires connected to the starter. The big cable that goes directly to the battery and then the ignition cable. And when I try to start it it click like the battery is dead but I got a brand new battery and had it tested so I know the battery isn't the problem. I don't have the right sized bolt or breaker bar to try and turn the engine over by hand so I don't know if the engines seized or not.

    Pull the plugs and spin it by hand. You may just be fighting the compression and stuff. No plugs means no extra force holding the engine from turning.
    You should have a third wire from ignition to starter, The black an yellow one. See if it is taped up or hanging close by and not connected to anything. It usually runs with the wire group that is attached to the engine block drivers side. just under the head. Those are the wires going to the starter. The black and yello wire there enables full voltage is hitting the starter, coil, plugs right at the time your cranking it over. Soon as it starts, it drops voltage to the running voltage.
