I looked at it there's power to the ignition but no lights come on and it won't turn over any help would be appreciated.

How much power are you getting? Try boosting it again and see if it turns over. Nothing should have burned up unless he put more than 14 volts to it.

[Millertime83]

12v and it will turn over if I jump the solenoid.

Trace the harness and look for any broken wires or anything.

Try replacing the solenoid or cleaning the connections on the one already there especially the one going the starter and the ground
