The starter solenoid is attached to the starter
motor.
See Figure 28.33.
The blue wire triggers the solenoid.
The violet wire carries charging current from the
regulator / rectifier.
The heavy gauge red cable carries battery cur-
rent to the starter and carries charging current to
the battery while the engine is running.
The smaller gauge red wire is not used in this
application.

29.1. With the key in the START position, terminals B,
S, and L are connected within the switch.
See Figure 29.1.
29.2. Terminal B is connected to the positive post of
the battery through a light gauge wire (red with
black trace) carrying a 20A in-line fuse.
29.3. The S terminal transfers battery power from the
B terminal to an orange wire with white trace (O/
w) when the key is in the START position.
29.4. The orange wire w/white trace leads to the com-
mon spade on the A set of contacts (A-COM)
within the PTO switch.
See Figure 29.4.
When the PTO switch is turned-off, power goes
from A-COM to A-NC (orange w/ black trace).
When the PTO switch is on, the circuit is open.
