Tracy is correct. You have to enter a 4-digit code before the starter is enabled. So you have a lot of flexibility regarding what type of starter switch you want to use, if at all. You can always start the engine from the display screen in Start Mode.
Here's a picture of the starter button in my -7. ![]() And a link to a site with more info: http://www.verticalpower.com/forums/...read.php?t=501 Quote:

push button on stick
I have the Infinity grips and put the start button on the pinky button of the grip. Makes for easy starts now. Left hand on the throttle, right hand can now hold stick all the way back while starting. I use to have to hold the stick back between my legs while the right hand went to the dash to hit the start button.

Starter Push button safety
I have a push button start on my 8A. I put a covered switch in the forward lockable bagage compartment and ran wiring in series to the start switch. With the switch off, no power gets to the starter switch.

Proximity Switch
While looking at the new Harley's and later a car with a proximity switch, I decided I had to have one. I also want the same push to start switch as you installed (they come in multiple colors too!). Anyway I decided that the two should work together pretty nicely. I haven't ordered yet, but basically my push to start will be enabled if I have the transducer (Fob) in my pocket and turn on the master and mags. No key needed - except for the canopy.
pushbutton and proximity switches are available here |

Just a note about starter buttons on the stick or panel. They have been inadvertenly pushed while the engine was running and shearing off the tips of the ring gear.

One of the great things about the VP-X is that it has an automatic cut out on the starter circuit once RPM is above 600. Still, I plan to install a starter arm switch so that the starter isn't accidentally energized on the ground, since I plan to have the starter button on the Infinity grip

I just used the recessed-in-the-bezel B&C starter button. I have it way over to the left. I don't see any realistic reason why it would get pushed accidentally while underway.
