How do you hook up the wires to a starter on a 1978 350 rocket?
The large one from the positive side of the battery attaches to the large post mounted on the starter solenoid and a smaller purple wire that attaches to the small post on the starter solenoid marked "S". The small post on the starter solenoid marked "R" is not used with that vehicle. Any accessory power wires would also attach to the large post on the starter solenoid.
How do you test a solenoid on a riding mower?
The solenoid will have two big posts and one or two small posts. Mark and remove the wires from the small posts. If you have one small post you can hook up a jumper wire from the + side of the battery to the small post and it should make the starter crank over. If it has two small posts hook one jumper from the + side of the battery to one of the small posts and another jumper from the - side of the battery to the other small post. If it is OK it will engage the starter. If you get nothing then the solenoid is bad.

Is there a picture of 1971 Chevy truck starter?
Can't send you a picture but if you need to know how the truck is wired to the solenoid I can help you. You should have one large cable from the battery attached to the upper large post on the solenoid. There should be two smaller wires attached to the small posts. One small post is marked "S" and the other is marked "R". The small purple wire is attached to the "S" post. The other smaller yellow wire is attached to the "R" post.

Test Solenoid for mtd 18hp brigg and stratton motor?
If you are trying to test your starter solenoid here is one way you can test it:Get a 12V test light from any auto parts store.With all these steps you will need to have someone seated on the mower, have the deck arm all the way in the up position and the clutch pedal all the way down. This should make all the safety switches activate and the solenoid should be working.1) Hook up the clip end to the "-" or Neg side of the battery, then touch the pointed end to the big post of the solenoid which has the battery cable from the battery. It should light up the test light. If it doesn't then you have a bad battery cable or a bad battery. If it does light up go to #2.2) With the clipped end on the Neg battery post, touch the pointed end to the other big post on the solenoid that has the cable going to the starter. While holding the test light on this post try to crank over the engine. If the test light lights up the solenoid is fine. You either have a bad cable to the starter, a bad starter or a bad ground in your system. If it does not light up go to #3.3) With the clipped end on the Neg battery post touch the small post of the solenoid. While holding the test light on this post try to crank over the engine. If the test light lights up then the ignition wiring to the solenoid is fine. If the solenoid has only one small post and the test light lights up here and not on the big post to the start then you have a bad solenoid. If it does not light up then you have a wiring problem other than the solenoid. It could be an ignition switch or a safety switch. If your solenoid has two small posts then one of them is a grounding post and we need to make sure you are getting a ground to activate the solenoid. If this is the issues go to #44) Hook the clipped end of your test light to the "+" or POS side of your battery and touch the pointed end of the test light to the second post and see if it lights up. If it doesn't then you have a wiring or safety switch issue.

How do you know if starter motor is faulty?
Take it off the vehicle. Put it in a vice. Get a battery charger. Attach the positive cable to the large post on the back of the starter solenoid. Attach the black post to a ground point. Take a test lead or screwdriver and make a closed circuit between the large post at the back of the solenoid and the small one. If it functions as it should normally, it might be fine. If not, you know it's faulty. If the starter engages the flywheel briefly, but then spins freely, your solenoid is going bad.
