Richard,
newbie at this (you already figured this out)
are battery cables set up this way for both 6 or 12 volt?
The cables do not care…BUT, depending on the distance from your battery to the motor, may change the gage wire needed to operate…
As for wiring…easy peasy..
12v red from battery to starter solenoid, it can be mounted in the junction box, OR under the hood of the motor…it does not care. Then take second red, positive, to the lug on the side of the starter.
Negative, black, from the battery to the lower mounting bolt of the starter bracket.
1 white wire from the battery to a momentary on off push button switch, then a white wire from the other side of the switch to the “HOT” side of the starter solenoid, the 12 volt solenoid should have 4 terminals, 2 large, battery connections, the smaller 2 one is for the white wire, “HOT” and the other needs to go to ground.
So if you do the electric choke, one wire from the battery to a second push button switch, then from the other terminal of that switch to the terminal on the choke solenoid.
To start, push the choke button in and hit the start button, engine should start but it WILL run a bit rough and may die… so you may have to quickly push the choke button in a time or 2 while it first starts to run and then the motor should settle down…
Done
