Hmmm... does this mean I was actually right for once! WEEEEEEEE!!!! yeah mE!!!!!!
I digress.
yeah, if you pull the little wire off the solenoid and it keeps going, solenoid is bad. Replace it and your battery to solenoid and solenoid to starter wires or at least ADD an additional wire in each of those locations and all will be right with the world again.

Dosen't matter on the two large posts. As long as the cable to starter is isolated on it's own post. The small wire from the ignition connects to the "S" connection. It a normally open switch. It could could care less, the direction of current.
The large terminals can't be backwards. The universal solenoids have an extra unused terminal marked R that could confuse some people, and if they used it instead of the S terminal then they wired it sort of backwards.
