Don't replace the starter yet, try this:
While you're trying to start the car, have someone bang on the starter, under the car, not too hard. This will usually un-jam the pinion gear and it will turn over.
I had to do that and it worked great. Then i Just washed the tip of the pinion gear in a cleaner and it's worked now for 15 years.
Starter drive is bad on "new" starter if it's a rebuilt starter very likely
The solenoid is not moving the pinion gear forward to engage in the flywheel so check that you have connected the wire from the starter switch correctly. Next point to check --if this is an auto matic vehicle ,check that the flex plate has not broken away and not in the position for the pinion gear to engage ti.

It sounds like the small tickler wires may be reversed to the Solenoid.
If no success, call Itasca and ask if there were any changes for this Solenoid. There are several types of Solenoid with the grounding being the major internal difference. Most likely your wires are switched.

You have a bad ignition switch, mounted in the back of the lock cylinder housing.
