Installing Push Button Switch

    I'm interested in installing a push button switch to bypass the connections on my carbureot (4bbl Carter). Currently the starter is connected via the accelerator pedal and is actuated that way.

    I found a heavy duty switch at Eastwood, would this serve my purpose? My thoughts are this is a simple straightforward procedure, but I thought I would ask just in case other info to consider.

    Thanks!

    If I knew the set up for this vehicle, I could help. Does the starter have a solenoid on it, or does the switch control the starter directly?

    Hey there Ray, thanks for responding. Well here's the setup. Accelerator has on the linkage a connection to two wires going to the carburetor. From memory I believe from there, connections make their way down underneath to solenoid and starter? One is ridding piggyback on top of the other.

    Up top on the carb, there are only 2 connections and I'm thinking of wiring those to this switch I found at Eastwood to bring that onto the dashboard panel. Here's the link:

    Sometimes the car wants to continue starting with key in the ON position and I want to eliminate that.
