Pay attention to the markings on the battery, not what you think the polarity is supposed to be.
An H is supposed to be positive ground, but it could be negative if someone changed it in the last 60 years or so. You can't assume.
As far as your starting problem goes, just because the connections are tight on the battery and starter doesn't mean they're good. There could be a layer of corrosion preventing a good connection.
Don't discount where the cable end clamps on to the cable. If you've got those temporary repair ends on the battery cable, there is a good chance that the cable is all corroded underneath the clamp.
Another common cause of no response is a bad starter switch. There's a reason cars have solenoids now... You can't push the button fast enough to prevent it from arcing and eventually burning the contacts. One day it'll work, the next it won't.
