Hey all, yesterday my starter button broke. The button literally sheared off leaving a spring and half the button exposed. When I push the remaining piece of button in nothing happens, so I'm guessing some other piece came flying out. Instead of buying a new control from mikes for $46, I figured I could rewire the kill switch to act as the start switch and just eliminate the kill switch. From what I understand, I can just remove the red/white wire and brown wire from the kill switch and connect them. Next I can run the blue/white wire from the start button to one of the kill switch posts and a ground to the other post, since the starter switch works by grounding the solinoid correct? Just want to make sure this will work before I start cutting wire as there isn't much room for mistakes in there.
