Testing starter engine

[Enrique Claure <spaninc@ceibo.entelnet.bo>]

Hi list, haynes recommends installing the starter Motor before putting in
the engine. I decided to test it before installing but could not get the
motor to rotate? On the selenoid there are two big copper screws and two
spade connectors. The large spade is (with my tester)continous with one of
the copper screws the other screw and spade are not. How must I connect my
battery to the starter?  Thould the starter spin? or do you get a clunck of
the selenoid arm? Help! Enrique
