Default Re: solenoid with start button

I jumpered a hot wire from the battery positive terminal to that small post and nothing. I then jumped a wire from the grounded chassis and off she spun. I know very little of electrons and such so it is all trial and error with me. I guess I will keep it this way.
Trying to wire a remote switch on my 36 with a floor starter button. Sounds like I need to alligator clip the negative wire to the battery side of solenoid and attach the other clip to the positive ground (frame). Is this right?
