It appears to show that you have the cattery cable and starter cable on the same terminal.-------Put starter cable on other side of solenoid I would say.

Postive goes to one large lug,
Cable on other large lug goes to starter motor,

As racerone is saying,


is that what you have?

Here is how the cables are attached on my 75hp Chrysler. The battery cable is connected on the left side of the solenoid, the starter positive cable is connected on the right.
