I have a 2000 Troy Bilt riding mower, model 40777 Intek V Twin. I took of the old solenoid and went to put new one on but the new one is a little different. There are two big post, battery and starter and a small wire. The small solenoid wire is on the opposite side of the old solenoid. It's been about a week since I took it off and I put on a brand new wiring harness, so the new wires don't curve to their original position. There is no lettering or markings on the solenoids.
I went by which side the battery post is to make a guess. It seems to work OK. Is there a right way and wrong way to connect these? Even though it works OK now, if it is not right, it will cause problems down the road?
