What do you mean you "hook the ground to your starter solenoid"?

If you have the white wire grounded, it's NEVER gonna start. You can use the white wire as a theft deterent, if it's grounded NO SPARK. Simple.

Hook the heavy black wire straight to the battery negative post. Sounds like you have the white wire hooked up right -- it goes to the dark green/yellow wire like you said.

heavy black = (-) batt post
heavy red = (+) batt post mag pickup = not used orange = (+) side of coil black = (-)side of coil red = red and light green (disconnected from coil) white = dark green and yellow (disconnected from coil)
