Ok.. I need some advice.. anyone have an emergency starter off switch ?
I added one into my plans after reading about some of the solenoids getting stuck during aeros, and a stuck starter will burn out pretty quick..

I found a diagram showing a fuse and a switch between the built-in skytec solenoid and starter itself, and this requires running two lines up to the front, with a 15A fuse.. hrm...
I've seen a lot of other wiring diagrams that ignore it, and now that I am re-looking at this again, I can't find those original diagrams anymore, and it looks like all the skytec diagrams no longer have one.. unless you have a PUSH button start - since they can handle the higher AMPS where the ACS keyswitch can't...
what's the general consensus here? Have one, don't have one ?

Thanks
