What is an alternator carb solenoid?

All cars are designed to run off the alternator, the battery only starts the car (unless your alternator fails, then your car will run off the battery for about 10 minutes until the battery dies).

There must be a shorted wire somewhere that became loose or exposed when you replaced the battery and alternator.
