Hello
I got my hands on a RDE19C for free and got it running without the harness, honestly I'd prefer to have the starter do the work than going through manually starting again. I have the solenoid electrical box and whats left of the original cable assembly (It's in bad shape. dry rot, oxidized). Decided to browse the forums in hopes of a replacement but so far the general consensus shows to give up hope on finding a OEM harness plug/cable assembly.
Was going to build my own since I have the appropriate length and gauge available. But I cant seem to find a wiring diagram.
Hopefully someone has some advise, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Look for a wiring diagram on the maxrules web site. It should be real simple. From the solenoid box to the dashboard should be +12VDC, Ground, Ign kill, Solenoid, and electric choke, if you have one. 4 or 5 wires. The orig harness may have had an ammeter wire for the generator(again, if you have one).
