Separate start button

Maybe not that unique, but wiring probably is, and that gives a unique advantage. Most have experienced hard hot starting because the performance based early ignition timing works against the starter. A solution is of course to have less ignition advance, but then you might lose power. So it’s better to build a solution like the dragracers do, they cut off the ignition when running the starter, and only turns on the ignition when the starter has the engine turning fast enough.

Similarly to that I’ve wired the starter button to the Accessory circuit (using a relay). So if I turn the key to Ignition and push the starter button, it will start as normal, but if I turn the key to Accessory and push the starter, the engine will turn (fast) and I then turn the key from Accessory to Ignition and the engine starts.

This allows me to have earlier initial timing, and therefore make more power, and still be able to start.
