Someone may have broken the lug off of the wire and then put the wrong
one on it because they forgot where it should be connected. If it's as
large a wire the other browns on the post, I suspect it's hooked up
wrong. The male spade on the solenoid is for the smaller wire from the
start post on the ignition switch. On my '69 B it's a white & red wire.
The Bentley wiring diagrams for the B show it can also be white/brown
for '69-70. The C could be different but maybe not. Anyhoo, that was
my thinking based on your saying it was a __large_ brown wire.
