    I don’t  know what you have  there but

    the solenoid has 2 small control posts     & 2  big posts allowing battery high current to reach the starter  while…. the inner small coil  gets battery from the key  START  and  the other side is grounded via whatever safety device  hooks up to it to prevent false starts.

     

    as far as I know    NO VOLTAGE   should pass between  a large post to a small post.      the big posts being simple relay in and out  lugs…

    isolated from the rest of the world

     

    the  small posts control the  solenoid inner electromagnet  to close the contacts  when starting.   the marine tech drawing is what you should use imho.
