Could be the starter drive is not engaging or perhaps you're using the wrong holes for your flywheel. If you have a 153 tooth ring and have the starter in the 168 tooth position, the gears would not mesh.
Did it ever start? if it did ,most likely the starter drive is broken, or the pinion ,or flywheel are stripped of their teeth.
Bendix is broken, Starter too far from ring gear, broken bendix throwout fork.

Why doesn't my starter engage?
Assuming the starter motor spins but doesn't engage to turn engine over to start you could have a bad starter drive which is part of the starter assembly or possibly damaged/missing teeth on flywheel ring gear.

How a starter works?
Electric current from the battery goes to solenoid, it clicks in and connects the full power of battery to starter main terminal, this spins the starter motor over, the starter Bendix gear on the end of the motor shaft spins around and forward about an inch to engage the gearing on the rim of the flywheel. This turns and when speed is up it throws the starter gear back to it's rest position.
