Starter Solenoid issues
So I have a 1984 Honda Magna VF700c, and my starter solenoid is having issues. The other day I ran outta gas on the road, and didn't realize it (I was being dumb and also my reserve tank light sensor doesn't work I guess) so I tried to start it one too many times and blew out the 42 year old original solenoid on the bike. I diagnosed it and found it to be this issue so I ordered a replacement from 4 into 1 and it shipped and I tried it out. I connected the "B" to battery and the "M" to the black terminal that goes to the starter. When I connected the batter up (positive first, then negative), it blew the 30 Amp fuse in the solenoid. I tried it again and checked my wires first for shorts and it did the same thing. Checked resistance and other such things and didn't seem to find any issues. Any thoughts? I'm a novice so trying to figure it out. Anything helps.
