new starter ordered

would any body recommend putting a jumper cable in to the starter motor feed bypassing the solenoid to make sure to motor works?

ok i got mine off eBay it came with a solar charger, what ground strap should i check? i cleaned all the terminations to deal with the starter. should i do any of the ones that deal with the engine?
