[Healeys] Starter Problem - update

[David Porter]

Yes, the white/red "trigger" wire is from the starter button on the dash and
sends power to the starter solenoid and that closes the starter circuit to
make it spin.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Starter Problem - update

I have just read up on the Hi-Torque starters and to answer my own question
I believe what I have to do is remove the by-pass wire on the starter motor
and connect the red/white wire from the starter button directly to the
spade connector on the starter motor instead of it going to the
solenoid. And then connect the battery cable directly to the starter.

Any thoughts?
