Do you just mean for the wiring of it? If so need to know the following info;

Did you get the starter solenoid for the motor also?

is it a 2 wire solenoid or a single wire item?

I use M/C starters myself as well. If you mean the starter pulley, drill out the original hole about .008-.010 less than the OD of the armatures gear end and press the pully on. I usually dissassemble the starter and place the armature against a piece of soft aluminum plate to avoid damge to the other end when pressing the pulley on. A M/C starter is usually east to dissassemble and reassemble, just put reallignment marks on things to help get it back together without problems.

sorry tim i didn't get the solenoid with it . i just got the motor.

i was just going to try and hook up a heavy duty switch to it and make a handle and place the switch in the end like a thumb trigger.

if i need a solenoid is thera any specific type or size to get???

Most older ford solenoids will work fine, this will help prolong you armature life, as the solenoid will take the beating before the starter will upon the hit of the switch, will work either way though. ~ james
