This is so frustrating... maybe my starter is wired wrong? Is there a wire from the bulkhead connector that goes directly to the center post of my starter? (meeting the + battery cable)

I got the purple wire from my (inside) bulkhead to the outside position of the starter, another red wire from the + coil to the inside position of the starter. And the big wire from the battery in the center postion all alone.

The altenator (one wire) marries to another wire that continues on to the small red off the battery and also branches to the horn relay. A seperate big red wire from the other bulk head connector (outside position) goes to the horn relay and I thought connected the the altenator, fuseblock and battery?

I missing something, if there is a wire directly on the center position of the starter, what is it? Or what am I missing??

Thanks in advance!!
