Re: Questions going 6V to 12V starting on RJE-18

You can use a choke solenoid from a ’57, ’58, ’59 35hp to start.

For a key switch, get one for a magneto ignition, with 2 M posts on it. That is the kill circuit if you want to add one. You run leads from the points post to the M terminals.

An alternative, is to simply buy a resistor and wire it in. I have done that as well. I have a few write ups from what I did somewhere on this computer! Illl look for it, and the part numbers of the resistors used.
