Exclamation Starter issue on 1983 G1

So I was driving my G1 around the other day and it was starting and driving good; however when I put it in park and then tried to start it again - the starter would not engage. I also tried to switch the key to reverse and the cart didn't make the usual loud "reverse" tone. I just replaced the battery, and when I tried to jump it nothing happened. I hope it's and easy fix / any suggestions or advice appreciated, thanks!

make sure the battery has been load tested and in good condition.
a big issue with the G1 is the large starter generator to solenoid and solenoid to battery cables. the stock ends are steel and corrode over causing voltage drop.

also check both fuses by the voltage regulator
