Starter wire question- '79 FC 33'
Bruce,
I wish you could edit posts. Anyway, I also see that the circuit
from the ignition start switch passes through the neutral safety
switch on the shift selector before going to the first solenoid. So
the path is ignition switch-neutral safety switch-solenoid 1.
Solenoid 1 energises the starter solenoid which then connects the
starter to the batteries.
