Athame57:
I've been cleaning up my electrics as in pic 1 , cleaned up the regulator and put all back, replaced fuse box assembly no problem....I'm having trouble with the new starter solenoid though. The new one in pic 2 from DSS goes in at a different angle and that threw my memory out as to what goes where. The cable I've arrowed has a loose other end too just now, I can't think where it goes ( Battery positive?? ) . :-\

robvangulik:
Is that the same cable as the red labled in the upper right of the pic?
Battery + terminal?

The red one in the upper right pic2 is the same red one attached to solenoid in right side of solenoid in pic1 ...

petermigreen:
The starter solenoid has 2 large terminals, usually threaded stubs with nuts that wind down, and 2 small terminals/connections.
One of the large terminals should be connected to battery positive as you mentioned. The other large terminal should be connected to the heavy cable that disappears into the side cover/crankcase area that leads to the starter itself. The other 2 smaller terminals are from the starter button and clutch switch and from memory are colour coded so should be easy to identify.
Hope that helps.

petermigreen:
Just studied your photo 2 more closely. Why have you got 3 leads loose? Something wrong there.
Edit
It looks like the one with the rubber boot at the end (the one not arrowed) is the starter cable. The other one? I can't tell, Possibly an earth strap. Been a long time since I've looked under that cover.
