Hey all. I want to double-check that I'm wiring the starter correctly. Power from the battery (actually from the master cutoff) goes to the post on the left, and the blue coyote starter wire goes on the copper-colored post on the top right. Nothing goes on the lower silver-colored post on the bottom right (the one that has the wire with the yellow crimp connector already on it). Do I have that right?

Thanks!

No, the blue wire goes on the smaller silver colored terminal. Think of it as a switch. The lower left terminal connects to battery. When the blue wire on the small terminal provides 12 volts, it shorts the lower left terminal to the other big terminal.

Make sense?

Perfect - thank you! Glad I asked.
