Yes, the wiring you describe would have been the original way it was wired.
The factory switch would provide ground to the solenoid coil to energize it. The original also served as a neutral safety switch, so you may want to go back with the original.
Possibly the solenoid is not the original. An automotive solenoid looks the same, but it requires voltage to the small terminal and grounds through the base.
Easy enough to determine, check the small terminal with a volt meter. If it shows voltage to ground, it is the correct solenoid, and grounding the terminal should energize the starter.
If no voltage on the small terminal, try jumping the battery to the small post, that should energize it. Be sure the base is tight to ground.
Just be very careful! Remember you have no neutral safety! Be absolutely sure it is in neutral before doing anything with the starter circuit!
