I have one of those battery kill switches in place, so the main "hot" line goes to that, then there is a line from the switch to the boost solenoid.
So, one thing I did notice when I got home this week, and started looking at the wires, was that the line to the starter goes directly to the boost solenoid. So I have removed it from the solenoid, and moved it directly to the side of the "kill switch" where the hot wire comes from (i.e. both the battery hot line and starter line are now directly touching and are the only lines on the kill switch at that terminal). Unfortunately, my chassis battery is on the driver side, and there are a spare set of house batteries on the passenger side. I would have to get a new line directly from the starter to the battery, or switch the batteries around. Either may be the next solution.
