I had the same problem try to get at the starter on a B&S 18Hp on a Big Foot , we used a mirror and a light to see and was able to get the old one out and the new one in , not saying this will work for you but at least give it a shot ..if nothing else you may see a bit more ...

Have had the same trouble myself with the Magnum, the wire is practically impossible to re connect and is often pulled away when changing the oil filter which as you know is not the easiest job. In the end I just left it disconeccted and have never had a problem with engine temperature anyway. Having said that it never quite looks right when checking the gauges so maybe one day when the lump is out I will get it connected right.
Let us know how you get on though--------------cheers
