Default 1987 LX Starter solenoid(relay)?

Hey all, I was changing the starter solenoid/relay (thing that sits on fender) and noticed there are 4 wires that hook up to the solenoid terminals. I know that the pos. battery cable hooks to the "B" terminal, and the starter power cable hooks to the "M" terminal. Now, I don't remember which of these 4 wires hook up to which terminals. I decided to put 2 wires on each terminal and hook up the battery. It cranks like a dream, but it won't start. Do I have the wires mixed up? Thanks!

The starter wire goes on 1 terminal, everything else goes on the other terminal along with the POS batt lead.
