The "N" starter solenoid is unique (compared to most more modern units, anyway), in that one side of it's magnetic coil is connected to the large post that is always "HOT" because that's where the battery cable is connected. Depressing the original starter button grounds the other side of the coil, causing the solenoid to "pull in". Most contemporary solenoids (and apparently yours) have one side of the magnetic coil GROUNDED, and need the application of battery voltage to the little terminal labeled "S" to get them to pull in. On the typical modern solenoid, the other little terminal is labeled "I", and is used to bypass the ignition ballast resistor during starting, in the solenoid's original application. The best advice is to get an original-type starter solenoid. (12 Volts, with cranking used in moderation, won't hurt the 6 Volt original type solenoid.) While your at it, get the tranny top starter button working. Replace it, if necessary. The life you save may be your own, or perhaps the neighbor kids'.
