Accepted Answer

ok. all you need to do to make the starter engage is remove the little small wire from the small post. Apply 12 volts to that post and the starter will engage. If there are 2 small posts it's the post that has the wire on it that you can just pull off and the post will be marked with an "S"

you can rig up a switch to 12 volts. don't forget to use an inline fuse incase something goes wrong. don't need the truck burning down....


thanks and let me know if you need anything else.
