Woah Dave...those little switches are not
designed to take a 50-200 amp load of a starter
motor!
On the 'side' of the solenoid... you should see a
small gauge white wire with red stripe.
This is the wire that triggers the solenoid.
Pull that wire off the solenoid and attach one
of the clip leads from your switch there.
Then simply hook the other clip lead
to the large terminal coming from the battery.
Now when you hit the little switch..the solenoid
pulls in as if the key had been turned.
Dave is right in the idea that you will not
get a spark but it will turn over the starter
for compression tests etc.
Now you may have more than one small wire
sticking out of the solenoid at right angles
to the large battery terminals. One is a supply
line that feeds 12V directly to the coil
during cranking. It won't have +12V on it
except when the solenoid is engaged.
