HELP! Turning Over/Starting...

It used to turn over just fine, been sitting 4 a year now. New battery, starter solenoid, alternator. But I turn the key and it doesn’t wana crank, it doesn’t even try like it’s not getting the power it needs even tho everything else in about the car juice wise works fine because the battery is Good. But on the gauge in the car it’s losing like half the juice right when I try and turn in on. It takes a good charged battery and a 50 amp start hook up for it to turn over and when it does it runs pretty…didn’t drive to far tho…bout it sounded fine..normal...help please...pictures…what wires… what's the deal, where to look...what to do to fix it. Thanks!!

You need to measure the voltage drop on the battery when you try and start it. I see you changed the solenoid, but not the actual starter. If the battery is good and the voltage drop is high (couple of volts) it's either bad battery cables, a bad battery cable connection, or the starter motor is just plain toast.
