The way I do it when I was 14-I go underneath find the main power input feed-go disconnect the battery-go back and cut the feed wire-find a house switch put the feed on one side, find the wire that activates the starter cut it out connect it to the push buttton and the other end ( jumper wire ) to the feed. The rest of the wires cut it out and put it on the other side of the house switch and your DONE

Good Luck
