Re: Starter current draw on ’56 Big Twin 30

Thanks Frank. Excellent schematic! Looks like I’ll be ordering some 4 gauge battery cables.

After examining the schematic, I have 2 more questions you, or someone else, may be able to answer.
Re: the black wire that runs to the mercury safety switch. Where does the current or signal go from there? It doesn’t show a ground or the completion of a circuit.
I also notice the battery is 6 volts. Am I doing any harm by using a 12 volt battery? As I’d expect, it spins the starter very nicely and stays charged too.

Thanks again.
