[4U2NV]

Mr. Magoo, Can you help? I also have a Venom and having tough time figuring out wiring ( Big weakness of mine) 1. I have large wire from battery to one side of Solenoid. 2.other side of solenoid goes to starter.3. two small red wires wires go to same post 4.d. 4. green wire goes on small post of solenoid. The engine turned over........so I went to step5. hooking the tach wire and the distributor wire to distributor ( I have the type of dist. with coil built in.) I als have a "one wire " alternator that has me confused. I hooked the large 10 gauge(?) wire to the back and the little one to the harness marked alt. but the back of the alt started getting hot so I un hooked. I am not getting any fire to the distributor so I wired from the solenoid and fired the motor up, however this is NOT correct( have to shut of main power to shut engine down.)
I have to think it is something simple.......help...
