starter relay

Works now anyway!

Well done Lonny. You could have crimped on a connector and stacked the ground behind the mounting screw as well. Good luck with it.

My unit is a $12 Ford solenoid i had laying around the shop. It never occurred to me to use a lawn tractor unit.

The Ford unit will work just as well, the lawn tractor one is just smaller, darn near the same size as the original Suzuki unit.

Ended up soldering the ground to the body of the relay. Works now anyway!

Good that it works, but like Toadstool Food said, you could have simply used a ring connector and put the wire behind one of the mounting bolts.

yeah i would "unsolder" that wire and run the ground to the bracket mounting bolt. would look much neater

IMHO, a ring connector would also be more secure. If that solder joint breaks, you will not be pleased with the results.
