I'd recommend to start with a jumper wire (or mechanic's remote
starter switch) from the control terminal on the solenoid to
alternator B+.  In fact I leave a jumper rigged that way permanently
with a clove hitch around some nearby hose, so I can simply press the
end of the crocodile clip against B+ to crank it.  The boot extends
over the end of the clip so it isn't in danger of accidentally
shorting to ground in between times.

Yrs,
David
