Remote engine starter switch

Don't know how big a switch it is, but I think you'll need to connect it in such a way that it operates the solenoid. On a pre engaged starter motor, as most have been for yonks, you'll just spin the starter motor (and matbe melt the switch). The solenoid engages the pinion of the starter motor to the engine and then whin the motor turns the engine turns also.

If your checking compression you won't want the ignition on......

Anytime I've checked compressions it was a case of removing all the plugs and screwing the tester in to each plughole in turn,flooring the throttle and turning the engine over and noting the reading , Stuart

To use a remote switch on a preengaged starter:

Connect one crocodile clip to live (either the battery end or where the battery lead meets the starter solenoid(the small lump on the starter motor)) Connect the other croc to the small lead on the starter solenoid If there are more than one small lead then you will have to try each to decide which you need (you won't harm anything if you get the wrong one first)

Do not connect the two crocs across the large connectors of the starter solenoid
