Start button wiring help

[discodoug]

I have an evo sportster with a very basic chopper wiring on it and a plunger starter on the solenoid. I want to put a pushbutton start on it, can someone please give me a simple diagram to do this?

You're going to need to add a relay. The diagram below is a little "busy" but if you ignore all the other shit it shows pretty clearly how to wire the starter circuit.

Hate to sound stupid but that relay confuses me. Do u have one that uses a simple two lead relay?

No ! You need the relay, a common 2 wire switch will not carry enough amps and will eventually burn up. Simple relay will do it.

No ! Follow Nottso's lead here. You need the relay, a common 2 wire switch will not carry enough amps and will eventually burn up. Simple relay will do it.

get a balkin 4 position switch with start and lose the relay

No, go with the relay. Pretty simple to wire in, and you can have minimal crap on your bars/wherever put it, and you can hide the relay under the seat. Basically all the relay is, is a heavier duty coil which is activated by your push button switch that just sends a 12v signal.

You could always go with a heavy duty relay like one of these.


Heres a simple diagram use with an auto style key with or a momentary button.


You could just put one of those heavy duty auto style starter buttons. And ditch the relay altogether.Sometimes they last forever, sometimes they burn up quick….
