Starter wiring question 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Gdon on  Thu Oct 7 17:18 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hey,

So my starter is on the way out. I have to tap it with a hammer to get it to start turning over. A replacement is on its way.

My question is, please don't flame me here heh heh heh, how do i wire in a push button to start the engine? Kinda like the Honda S2k.

Do i basically run a wire from battery +, link it to a push button, and then wire it to the solenoid on the starter?

The issue i have at hand is I want to by-pass the existing key ignition wiring. My wiring harness is pretty crumbly and I don't really trust the wiring going to the starter. (I don't intend on keeping the old 240 for much longer so replacing the wiring harness is not on the job list).

Is it possible to turn the key to Igition II (engine running position), push the starter button (using the wiring method as listed earlier), have the engine start, and when I wish to shut off the engine just turn the igition switch to OFF like normal?

If there is an easier way, or if what i typed is wrong, advice is greately appreciated.

Thanks!
