Disregard my last comment .
I didn't see this:

at the top.
I thought I was lucky that my mind was the first thing to go... apparently
not, it's my eyesight !

Not to be a negative nancy,
But please if you're going to do this do the proper wiring. Using a splice connector is a terrible idea and just asking for failures a few years down the line.
Strip the insulation and solder a new wire on if that how you want to do it. Splice connectors like that eventually vibrate through the wire and then you're just making bigger problems than the one you are trying to "cure".

A bump switch. Would be helpfull
I have been chashing a cutout that appears very rarely. The engine just dies and will start again rught away. I just have to get the coach to stop first with no powerbrak and no powersteering. Can be a bit scary. With a manual gearbox she wouldo just bumpstart
Any idears ?

I believe the only motors that will start are the ones with points. There is an extra wire from the starter to the coil '18yel'
This switch comes in handy when working on the motor.

You are correct. The solenoid circuit you are using was put in to jumper around the ignition resistor on points ignitions to aid is starting. The circuit goes away when the starter is not energized.
