If you have and can use a DMM (Digital Multi-Meter) you could try measuring the resistance of the starter solenoid coil i.e. the resistance to ground from X6510.
It will need to be a meter that can read very low resistances, as the resistance of the solenoid coil will be a fraction of an ohm - at 12.6v it takes a load of 0.21ohms to draw 60amps. If your solenoid coil is greater than 0.21 ohms, it's ok - lower than 0.21ohms, it's either faulty or the wrong part.
This is a very general test, as the actual current drawn in an inductive circuit will depend on more than just the DC resistance, but it's a start.
(An inductive circuit is usually one that includes some form of coiled wire - like in your starter solenoid coil.)
