Starter upgrade
Dumb question.
Does PM 9050 also has connection for 3 wires? On any photos that I found on the internet, I can see only 2 connections (one for battery cable, and one for small wire). Original starter motor has 2 cables and 1 wire.

My 93 NA has 2 connections:
one from solenoid (actually a "contactor" / "relay") on fender
one big cable to battery
However, the only true "solenoid", on the starter, has 2 terminal bolts, one of which is connected to the motor inside and no cables should be attached to that one.
Reminder to be very careful that cable and wire going down to starter are properly routed do as not to chafe or melt and short to frame.
Fuel line runs right through there and if battery cable got shorted down there it could burn through fuel line and start a fire at the same time your batteries were exploding. Fuel would be gravity fed and it would continue to burn for as the battery acid ate through everything.
I'm just sayin
