Hot Start Relay

[magikbus]

Here's the diagram I promised Don at the meeting before last.  It shows the wiring diagram using a 30 amp Bosch relay to allow a much closer wiring between the battery and the starter motor, getting around the long run of #18 wire from the engine compartment to the ignition switch and back.  The ignition switch activates only the coil in the relay, which switches the power from the battery directly to the starter.  Much less than the up to 50% loss of amperage found in that small wire original system.  Now if I can only get photobucket to do something I'll post the diagram.

i am in the middle of wiring (which is not my strong suit) and was trying to figure out how to wire up a dual battery (isolator).
