Sorry but it's not. The 2 big terminals have nothing to do with the two small terminals as far as what passes through them they are seperate circuits. If the battery cable is on one terminal and the other side is a on/off how can this be a full circuit?
The battery cables should hook to each big terminal. One in from battery then one out to starter. Then one small ignition wire to solenoid from key then out to ground. This will give you straight battery to starter the key switch has nothing to do with it. It's just to turn the slonoid on/off. I have been hooking solenoids up for years. I have never seen this before.
