Is it normal for the ignition wire to be split into half (kind of made into a fusible link, but the gauge thickness is the same, which should probably be 4 times bigger right?) with one end going into the solenoid, and the other into the cold start swicth?

If you're describing what I think you're describing, the wire from the ignition switch goes to the "S" terminal on the starter AND to the cold start solenoid. This WILL eventually burn out the contacts in the ignition switch because of excessive current draw. Especially if the Spica isn't setup right and you have crank the crap out of it to get it started. Installing a relay is the cure. The link that Keven provided shows one way to hook one up. But the cat's *** way to hook it up is to have both BOTH the starter and cold start solenoids be relay triggered. If a diagram is needed, I'll draw one up.
