Still how "big" does the push buton have to be? You kneed to know what the amp draw is or else there could be lots of smoke. And as we all know electrics run on smoke, if you let too much out they quit, lol. Also I want to beable to control wheather it will start or not from the engine bay, sometimes I just want to turn it over.

Hook your switch from point #3 to point #5. One of those universal horn switches are large enough and mount very easy.(the one that is silver metal with a black pushbutton in the middle).

thankyou for the help but that is not what I am asking. I know how to wire it up. I need to know what the load requirements for a switch between the positive and S terminal (point 5) on the solinoid.
