    Default Rewiring the starter motor



    Trying to do this among other things at the moment. Can someone confirm the wiring of the unit. There are four terminals on the starter motor.

    - there's a white wire from the block to the most right hand side terminal, 10mm nut
    - a black wire with a blue tag on the end going to the top terminal, 8mm nut
    - the two largest black wires go together on the most right hand side terminal, 13mm nut
    - and the bottom terminal get a skinny black wire.

    Is this correct guys?

    the white 13mm one stays where it is on the block side of the starter unless you are taking the solenoid off the starter, the 2 13s go in the outer stud, the 8 and 10mm each get a respectively sized wire
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
