    As Chris said, that is a conversion diagram. In fact, I drew it. Nevertheless, it will work for what you are trying to do. Yes, the safety switch is on the horizontal throttle gear and tilts back and forth as you work the throttle. And yes, if you simply ground the wire it will work, but without the SAFETY function. It will be possible to start it in gear and with a wide open throttle and run over something or somebody.
