That's right, Terry. Except that the new wire doesn't need to be that
heavy, 16 or even 18 AWG would do. This wire (and the original solenoid)
now only carry current for the new solenoid, which as I recall I measured at
about 7 amps on the starter I got from TRF.

You're right, I forgot to mention that before. By unloading the contacts in
the original solenoid, it should last much longer. Might be just because
it was "tired", but I could measure the voltage drop across my old solenoid
too, so my configuration should deliver just a little bit more to the new
starter.
