Main positive goes to the top stud, away from the starter. I don't know about the other two smaller without looking closer. Trial and error them.

It is spelled "solenoid" despite the unfortunate tim allen home improvement pronunciation

If we all begin to correct spelling errors there won't be room on the site for any Opal posts
