Oh man, a prose electrical schematic! I'd better check in, just to be
clear:
I can take the heavy cable that WAS the second post of the solenoid, and
move it to share the same solenoid post with the battery cable, and attach
the other end of that cable to the big post on the gear reduction starter.
Then, I take a 12 or 14 gauge wire, run it from the old (now vacant) second
post, to the spade on the gear reduction starter.
The white with red wire from the starter push switch to the spade on the
solenoid, remains unchanged?
If I have this right, I like it! You're right. It would seem to shut the
current out of the solenoid directly to the new starter built for it.
Thanks, Randall!!
