lit started went down road radio on put turn signal on static in headset and all went dead popped the clutch and it started drove home it has done this a few times each time the wires around the starter solenoid were HOT the 2 in the plug. Started it to day let warm up seamed ok but the wires are getting hot again and now at 2000 rpm hear and foal a clink like clink..............clink

What you have is bad connections on the red and red/white wires on the solenoid. What you need to do is cut those wires off the connector and solder them together with 1 end of a good 30 amp fuse holder and connect the other end to the + battery terminal.
So I don't just cut the 2 from the solenoid and put the fuse between the,
You want me to take the two I cut from the plug solder them together the put a fuse and the a new wire to + bat
