Hi guys wiring up a second hand motor, when I connect the battery terminals she tries to start, think I have wiring right but obviously not

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.

Thanks no the positive is on the solonoid and the negative is on the chassis of the motor or body for a better word

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

As racerone is saying,


is that what you have?

So I just put the negative onto the starter and exactly the same thing happened when I connected the battery, tried to start the motor, the key is even out

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.

Here is where the negative battery cable is connected on mine. It is boltrf to the block just under the starter behind the carb mount.
