need some info on wiring in my car,

should the starter motor connect direct to the battery?

it allways has been since i got the car but was unsure if this is normal or if it needs to be within the cut off circuit

thanks

Normally straight to battery

+1 Battery
The solenoid should be within the cut off circuit

depends what type of starter you have.....
inertia (not very common these days but are on Crossflow engines)
Pre -engage starters....you can tell these as the solenoid are on top of the starter motor, in which case the starter wire (the thick one) goes direct to the battery +ve/
