1996 Ford ranger 2.3 5 speed only starts by jumping solenoid

The end of the pushrod that connects to the clutch pedal broke off so I replaced the master cylinder and now my truck won’t start … It sat for about 4 months before I fixed it… Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions to why it won’t start.. If I jump the starter solenoid on the fender it will start right up …
