The 48-52 starter button has one wire and it grounds the wire when pushed. The 53-on starter button looks exactly the same, but has two wires that it connects when you push it. The older solenoid coils were "hot" and just needed the terminal grounded to close, while the newer ones want power applied to them. So the two-wire buttons have power from the battery or ignition switch on one wire, and the other goes to the solenoid.
