Remember I'm in over my head on electrical wiring so please explain "apply juice to the starter button".
I have a new solenoid on order. Hopefully it comes in tomorrow.
Thanks
The small stud facing the engine should be hooked to your button, which will eventually be a ground when you push it down.
Since the solenoid is wired batt hot, grounding it closes the contacts and completes the start circuit through the solenoid, (its an electro-mechanical thing).
Depending on your light you may not get it to light. Hook the clip on batt hot then touch the probe on the small stud. Now push the starter button down, it should be green for ground if you have the right light. Let go of the button and you have nothing since the circuit is no longer complete.
The opposite test would be to reverse the clip and probe. Should be red with button down, and, again, nothing with button up.
Take a jumper wire from batt hot and BRIEFLY touch the stud on the starter. As in the one on the starter barrel most toward the oil filter. It should try to roll over. BE CAREFUL OF ANY SPARKS. If it does try to rollover, solenoid is bad or wrong. Or starter button is not making ground contact.
