I have a 1956 RD-18 that I am adding electric start,

Items accumulated so far are:

Flywheel of a 57 35hp

Starter and correct bracket

Bottom half of carb from a 57 where the choke can sit

e Choke

solenoid (not sure where I am going to mount just yet)

I do NOT intend on adding a 12v generator.

Now for the question: Wiring harness

I have made a few harnesses in my time so I am familiar with what and how the mechanics work but I have never made one for a motor this old.

This is whatI have used in the past

This is what I have found for a 57 35HP

Any good reason why I should not use the simpler wire harness (73-76)
