The chattering solenoid means that your entire system right up to the solenoid is working correctly, with the possible exception of the battery - a new battery charged by a moron at WalMart is no longer a new battery, but rather a candidate for the recycling bin.

Can you bump start it?

Can you boost it from a car? (engine OFF! as previously mentioned)

There have been several 'damn thing won't start!!' threads of late (you'd think it was spring, or something... :headscratch: ), several of which have featured issues such as you describe. Do a search, see what comes up.
