Bob, 

I have a B&C starter with the attached solenoid.  The solenoid ( which is attached to the case of the starter) has a wire from the starter to the solenoid.  I would like to cut the jumper wire to the solenoid and wire that wire directly to the starter switch there by eliminating the need for the starter contactor relay.  Will that work?  Or should I still use the starter contactor relay.  I have several A&P's tell me the starter contactor is not needed.  They said wire the starter switch directly to the starter solenoid.  Another party said I would get an amp surge from the starter solenoid back to my starter switch and it would cause premature failure of the starter switch contacts.  So what is the answer?



Thanks, 

Alan
