Probably S for Solenoid.

S is for start, r is for resistor. The start wire should be yellow with a red tracer, if you had points, you would utilize the r terminal to bypass the resistor in line while starting the engine. BTW, the S terminal is the one closet to the block if you've already got it on and can't read it

thanks everyone! I did hook that little one up to the 'S' based on some reading i did immediately after posting this.
So after getting the wires hooked up, I found yet a fourth wire with a larger eye on it. I have no idea what its for, or where it comes from. It appears it is coming form the opposite side on the engine (from the starter). I know its tough without seeing it, but has anyone heard of four wires being being attached to the main bolt?

if its red, hook it to the main starter lug, or if its easier, hook it straight to the battery(or switch)

It is red... thank you very much. So I did all of this, and the engine still wont turn over. I turn the key (power is getting to the starter) and one click. Nothing else... I'm out of ideas! A friend told me that there is a solenoid near or behind the carb... that sometimes they go bad. Any ideas out there?
