The starter will handle the 12 volts fine. The choke solenoid will fry though. You can convert the wiring to run on a 12 volt battery, and starter solenoid. Or, you can wire in a resistor. Your choice. I like to wire them for 12 volts, then sub in a 12 volt battery, 12 volt starter solenoid, and a 12 volt choke solenoid from a ’57 and up motor.
The Mercury switch is the ground, when the throttle is at the START setting, other wise not, and the motor will not start.
