alright then, lets say i come off "B" with hot cable to "BATT" and jumper from "BATT" to "S", would this accomplish same thing? i can do either.

maurice, the starter solenoid is in a very tight spot and i have a pretty good stack of wires to b+ right now, and i can put a solenoid in a very accesible spot away from heat. i don't know how many amps a starter pulls.
