So, I would like to hook up my electric starter, just would be nice if I kill it somewhere not to have to kick it. I tried wiring it up but it doesnt seem to be getting enough power to turn over the engine. I wired directly from the batt to the starter to just try it out and it cant push it. Do I need to be trying something different? Does the power have to come from the coil or should hardwiring (temporarily just to test) directly from the batt turn it over. I also tried jumping it by putting power from a car directly to the starter just to test it, and it fired up so I know the starter is working.

Thanks for the help.

Might just be your battery?
Hotwire should turn it over if there's nothing else wrong!

Thanks
