No Start! HELP PLEASE?

by taking my multi meter probe to the white/pink and one to the starter power, wouldnt that be the same thing as the battery positive?

Yes.

and by putting the probe of my meter to the starter case and just any known ground wouldnt that be the same as my battery negative?

considering the case is grounded anyway?

Not the same because you are not measuring the entire ground path.

Remember you are doing these tests because you believe there is a wiring fault somewhere (high resistance).

As stated before, it is not possible to have +9 volts at the solenoid and a good starter not engage. This means that:

Your testing methods are circumspect.
There is a starter problem.
There is a wiring/switch problem.
The meter is bad, set to the wrong scale, probes not making good conection.

For the starter to engage, there has to be +12 volts at the solenoid. Does the starter engage when +12 volts is jumped to the solenoid? If it does, then the starter has to be good.

During the test, are you positive the ignition is in "start"? Is the clutch pedal depressed? Note, you are not measuring the resistance of the starter. The intent is to measure the resistance of the wire path back to the battery.

What are the results of the ground test?

What are the results of the positive supply?

If you expect someone out in Internet land to actually help, then full accurate tests with results are needed.

Detailed instructions have already been given to isolate the starter circuit.

Remember there is no elevator to success. You must take the steps.
