The madness, Trying to get running.

The starter. When testing to see if it spins. There is two big nuts on the solenoid. One that the 24v supplys. The other is to put the power to the starter motor. When you want to jump it you put something metalic across these two post, Correct? And it should spin?
I just want to make sure I am doing it right. when I did it It sparked like a mother and started to melt the 120v Romex wire I was using. Didn't spin the starter!!!
Anything?
Thanks

have to use a screw driver or something heavy like that the romax will just melt.

And don't touch it to the frame/engine/etc either, cause it will cause one h-e-c-k of a show. Only touch it to the studs. It'll only spark a little...

Ok i will see if I can squeeze something heavier up there to jump it. Yeah no touhing the 24v to ground. I don't want to see what the show is, thats ok.
