Begin with cleaning your battery posts and connectors. The big wire on the solenoid should go to the pos+ terminal on your battery. I like 2/0 size with cast on terminals. The other wire on the solenoid comes from the ignition switch - when you turn the key to start - there will be 12V to activate the solenoid/starter.
