[QUOTE="Mudduck, post: 102952, member: 1929"] I think I have figured out which wires do what (thanks crazyman, i guess i should have read the whole Link) but i have another question? There is currently a black plug holding the: +, - terminals from the battery, SOL, CHOKE, 2 MAG wires that plugs into the front of the motor. If I simply hard wire the + and - from the battery to the engine (ie. remove the black plug into the front of the motor and install push button switches on the cowling for Start, Stop, Choke) will the motor still run? I am thinking that it will not have a "RUN" function like when using the keyed ignition? If i hook up the right wires to push buttons: Start (SOL, BAT [pulled from the + coming into the engine]) and Kill (Mag, Mag), leaving the solenoid alone and just using the wires that used to go to the plug junction box, will the engine continue running after i have started it? Basically, can the motor run without the plug installed in the front? Or what wires need to be connected to bypass the plug all together? Thanks, I am really new to wiring anything and am scared to turn this thing into a puff of smoke![ATTACH type="full" alt="Motor Wiring.JPG"]8033._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
