circuit breaker
I have a 350 mag that is not starting. I would try to turn it over and just hear a click but now I dont even hear the click. The red button 50 amp circuit breaker is out and can not be pushed in, would this be a cause to the issue?
I have put a new starter in.
Thanks.

If you can't put in the breaker, then it's probably not "popped". If it clicked, then it's not the breaker.
First off, you have confirmed a good battery right? Put a DC volt meter on it. Hook it up to a charger if questionable, or you don't have a meter. If good then make sure you have a good connection's to the starter. Check voltage on the large terminal to ensure a good connection there, it will have a large red wire going directly to the battery or battery switch. Report your finding and will go from there.

+1 Sounds like a bad connection or dirty connection to me as well....
