Problem solved - Thanks, Folks for your responses. The system is currently a 12 volt system. Because when the floor switch is released, current stops going to the solenoid which causes the starter to stop turning. No further charge should be coming from the solenoid's 'I' terminal, but it turns out that the wire to the 'I' terminal was the guilty culprit. (Thanks, Deanostoybox for pointing me in that direction.) I took the wire off the 'I' terminal and just held it there while cranking the starter. Once it started, I took the wire away and the motor continued to run and the resistor did not overheat. Touching the wire back on the 'I' terminal caused the engine to stop. I tried starting the engine without the 'I' terminal connection and the engine started without any hesitation, so I'll just leave out that part of the circuit. Your right, Jeffcat & Jmor, the solenoid is the basic problem as all I did was grab a four post solenoid without any further deliberation. I added it to the circuit because I thought I needed that temporary bridge to compensate for the extra current while starting. I am not sure what will happen during the cold winter months – I'll wait and see. I wanted the floor switch because I, or anyone else borrowing this machine, then must be up sitting in the seat to start it – safety. The ignition switch is simply a keyed, off/on switch. Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to respond to this dilemma of mine. It's great to know there is a place to go if things just don't seem to make sense.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
