- Neutral starting and back-up switch
- Wiring harness
- Battery
- Starter motor with an integral solenoid These components form two separate circuits. A high amperage circuit that feeds the starter motor up to 300+ amps, and a control circuit that operates on less than 20 amps.

Supply Circuit And Control Circuit
The starter system consists of two separate circuits:
- A high amperage supply to feed the starter motor.
- A low amperage circuit to control the starter solenoid.
