have you tryed a jumper wire from plus side of battery to the starter relay? im talking about the lead that comes from the starter switch.that engages the relay for the starter to turn. did it click ? it should. thats what passes power to the starter. hope you can make some sence of this.

most of the time when the starter clutch does not lock up and turn the engine over. it squeals . becuase the rollers are not locking up. this can be cuared most of the time by giveing the engine oil a good dose of sea foum. do not over fill the engine oil. fallow with a 100 or so easey miles and a oil and filter change while still warm. this gets a lot of build up off the clutch (sprag clutch) rollers.
hope this saves pulling the engine.

this is a respons to the above.
