Where does this go?

That's funny cause I used the relay cable as my ground because it was a little longer. That's weird though because it's all just "wire"!

[Diggs345]

My ground goes to battery - , +from battery to relay then out to starter , red and black / white to kill switch/ start button

[Diggs345]

The blue cable is power in from battery

Yup that's what I got right now , thanks for the pic bro!

So the white green and red out of harness that plug in, the green is ground and the white goes to the start button and what is the red for? Just wondering which spade connectors on relay do what?

The red should be hot (switched) from the ignition switch (looking at manual). It should have 12 volts when the key is on, the white wire is the "trigger" for the solenoid. Well, in my estimation, of course.

Also, put the ground wire right on the top of the starter motor. Much better to have direct to the motor than having the ground route through the engine cases. Just my opinion, but it removes variables.

White/black is connected to the red via the start button , or as I found out first if I shorted them together the starter worked

Oh boy what keyswitch?? Am I suppose to have a ignition key switch?

I don't , the used kit I got had a yamaha kill switch for the starter

Maybe there is a splice that has to go where the keyswitch should go as a bypass for ignition power to start button. I gotta find a schematic. This makes perfect sense though because without the key switch you could kill your battery with the light being left on. I'm going to try this first tonight and see if that solves the problem
