Hello prd and Mark electric,

Sounds like what it is. First things first.

I disconnected the original wires going to the original greenfield solenoid. I have enclosed pic of original Greenfield Solenoid.

I disconnected the wiring plug that went to the key (Ignition) switch.

See pic of key switch with 5 spade terminals and disconnected wire plug. Key switch is a bit dirty looking.

I notice there is some wire missing from the battery end of the cables, I assume the missing cable is related to the seat switch. I could not say if the actual seat switch is still under the seat or has been removed. Will check tomorrow.

I connected the positive (Red) cable from the battery directly to the solenoid on the Honda.

I have left all other wires disconnected at this stage.

There seemed to be a lot of wires going to the original solenoid and quite a few wires coming from the switch.

Mark Electric...with reference to the less wires drawing you provided. Am I safe to assume that's the solenoid on the Honda motor or is that the solenoid on the frame of the Greenfield Mower?

I've seen a few red wires on that Greenfield.

I need to know where that small red wire that goes to the solenoid actually comes from. As there should only be one solenoid and not two, I've removed the original Greenfield located on the frame within the engine bay.

I'll only use the solenoid that's connected near the starter on the Honda Motor.

Here are the pics...It was a humid and sweaty day.
