Here’s a pic I took before I started tearing the motor down, just to help me remember the various wiring connections. As shown in my pic in the first post, the red wire on the neutral safety circuit connects to the hot terminal on the starter solenoid and the white wire connects to one of the small terminals on the starter solenoid.
As shown in the pic attached here, the red wire in that harness connects to terminal T1 on the terminal block and the white wire connects to the neutral safety switch above the shift actuator cam. This neutral switch wire harness and routing looks to be factory original but who know what the previous owner or his mechanic did. This routing seems to follow the wiring diagram I posted from the Maxrules website in my previous response.
There is no remote key switch for this motor; there is an engine mounted push button start switch only. The diagram that Tubs posted seems to be the way it would work but that’s not how this motor was wired up.
