It is yellow, and goes into either of the rear two spade connectors on the left rear side of the relay board.
It tells the double relay on the L-Jet that the starter is engaged so it can turn the fuel pump on. And just a tip.. you can put a spade connector on either of those connections and feed it 12v to make the engine crank. That helps if the ignition switch fails on a trip. |

Thanks I was unsure . The front spades test positive and I didn't want to fry something. Do I even need to use this if I'm running carbs?

No. It's not plugged into anything on my carbed engine.

Agreed- I have carbs too and nothing goes to those spades.
So, Clay: Are you saying I could run a wire from one of those spades to the battery, interrupting it with a momentary switch, and I would have an emergency ignition cranking switch in the engine bay? If true, how cool is that. Ansbacher |

It is far easier than crawling underneath. Clay |

Also, hoping Betty’s car is coming along well; if you need a replacement 1.8 engine tuneup sticker (see Originality Forum) let me know and I’ll mail you one. Thanks for all you do on the Forum. |

I just use a short piece of wire, an a spade connector. I use my blue-point remote starter button I have owned for years as the switch. It just has alligator clips on the end of the wires.
The switch kinda looks like this....  |

Any particular gauge wire (8)? Just checking so as not to fry things. |

I just matched the wire size with the yellow wire that attaches to the spade connector on the starter. Clay |

Great idea Clay Some vintage English cars had a built in under-hood starter button. Can be very handy for tune-up and maintenance work. |
