Yes, I got those Lorco starter buttons with the black boot that says "Push" on it in both my trucks. Whenever somebody asks me what the button is for I tell then it is the self destruct buttom, even my kids keep their fingers of it.

I was asking Kowboy Kenny, but it appears he has left the building.

Dave, I am using an old style "plunger" switch. It is wired to a solenoid which supplies the current. What you are saying is why I burnt out 2 switches before I put in the solenoid.

Yes that is exactly what I was saying, glad no fire was involved.
200 amps through a 20 amp switch can make things interesting in a bad way.
