Starter Motor Connections

[brainbug007]

Can anyone post a pic of how the starter motor gets wired up? I've got what I think is the right part of the loom with a thick black, thick red, and a smaller red & black wire with a nut stuck on the end but I can't work out which way round they onto the starter motor.

I've taken a picture of how I think it goes, can anyone confirm i've done this right?

That looks to be right from memory. Pics are on my laptop though to be certain. Sure someone will confirm shortly though

that is not right
im pritty sure the balck thick one goes to starter mount bolt and is the main neg bond or "earth"
its needs sorting before the battery gets conected if i was you

Snap...... lol

Battery due for a big bang if not sorted.

Surely that black isnt right.
Does the contact that the black is on not come live when the solenoid if energised, so there should be a wire from this contact to the starter motor its self?

I would have thought the black would have gone on a bolts on the housing as the engine/ gearbox should be earthed.

Am i making sense?

AS per other post, thick back goes to gearbox ( although starter mount bolt should do fine )

Defo big bang theory,if you look carefully there should be a braided lead from the terminal you have the black lead on and that feeds the starter when the solenoid is pulled in.

The black lead is earth.
