Default Starter motor engaging issue

Wondering if anyone can give me some help on a suspected wiring issue on my 89 MFI xr3i. The car won't start after putting some parts back in the engine bay I took out for spraying (inlet manifold, throttle body, WUR and rocker cover). All plugs were labeled and definitely put back in the right place.
Problem I have is that the starter motor won't engage. I have tested the starter motor off the car and it works fine. I have tested the permanent live to the starter and I am getting a reading on my multimeter but when testing the ignition live terminal on the starter (the covered push on fitting) I am getting no reading on the multimeter.
Can anyone shed any light on the problem before I start ripping wiring loom to bits??!!
