Randy, you need to clean and replace that connector and repair those wires.
The larger diameter (lower gage) wires carry all of the starting current for your bikes. AS such, they heat up quite a bit. This is a known problem area and regular inspection is required.
The solenoid itself is probably fine. If not, I have two of them sitting on my workbench...they were at the Gap with me in case this happened to someone.
