I had another starter motor before this that only had one terminal on it - (the gear just flew forward with friction) With this starter motor you had a separate solenoid that goes between the starter and the battery (I presume just a large relay) so the power doesn't go via the ignition.
My question is if powering the solenoid on my starter is too much for my ignition switch or should I use a separate solenoid or relay for this.
