i want to be able to crank the motor while i'm near the engine bay. if i run a wire from a push button switch to the single small gauge wire on the starter, will it work? where does the second wire from the switch go? to a ground?

with carbs.
you need power to the coil. 12 jumper lead power to the fuel pump jumper lead push button from yellow lead on the starter to power on the battery. the button needs to be rated for 50 amps or it will melt. Dont crank to long or the wire will melt. Rich |

In this case, the solenoid (if in proper working order) won't draw much current. I=E/R (current{AMPS} = volts/resistance{OHMS}) (Ugy's Electrical References) |
