Which cables where on solenoid on 90 hp Johnson

[sdw8892]

Like an idiot, I took off my solenoid to replace it (knew it was bad b/c no click on ignition) then went out of town for two weeks, etc etc. A month later, I can't remember which wires go where on the new solenoid I bought.

I have the wire to the starter (short thick) on one pole; another thick wire on the other large pole, and then there's one wire that's a small ground wire going to the engine block and then two other wires with large eye rings.

I connected it every which way I can think of and still can't get it to start. Ideas?

ground goes on the small post next cable going to starter, one of the other two goes to small post next to cable to battery. last one goes on the big post with the battery cable. this last one carries power to the ignition switch. should have an inline fuse .
