Steve,
You should leave the heavy lead off at the starter, (insulate the lug for safety), so you can engage the pinion with the flywheel to check pinion to ring gear engagement in both planes.
With only the small solenoid wire fitted, the ignition switch can be held in the crank position to ensure the pinion is correct.
Wrong depth in either plane is the cause for ring gear or pinion damage.
