Re: Planning Engine Swap
The 18" long harness that came with the switch is 1/8" thick with the insulation and 5/64" with the bare wire
Would this be 12G or 14G? |

Re: Planning Engine Swap
Do any of the wires going into or out of the key switch need to have a fuse?

Re: Planning Engine Swap
Hopefully 14g will work
I ordered 6 spools (15foot each) of all various colors for $25 shipped I'm going to add a 15amp inline fuse for the wire going from the battery to the switch |

Re: Planning Engine Swap
I found a nice 90° fitting to get the exhaust away from the drive belt and the F/R cable

Re: Planning Engine Swap
Wired up temporarily to make sure it starts and stops
I couldn't get anything to work. Duh, the battery wasn't grounded and the engine ground strap was loose I ran the red wire coming from the voltage regulator directly to the battery I connected a yelllow wire to the magneto kill tab to the M tab on the switch I ran a black wire from the negative battery post to the G tab on the switch I ran a red wire from the positive battery post to the B tab on the switch I ran the white wire from the starter solenoid tab to the S tab on the switch I have the L tab and X tab unused on the switch, that I still need to connect the factory led headlights to the switch |

Re: Planning Engine Swap
I think I might need a new battery, or a larger battery?
It's taking a tad longer than I expected to start up Any ideas? |

Re: Planning Engine Swap
What’s the voltage of your battery when not cranking and cranking ?
How thick are your cables from the battery to the solenoid ? |
