Default Jumper wire for #1 terminal ACS switch

Finishing up wiring and doing ign switch. I have only one impulse coupling and that's on the left mag (normal

Diagram says add jumper between/connecting the two side by side posts for the right mag wire.

The question is pretty basic: Do you all just use a basic 18 ga. wire with eyes on each end?

Thanks

Should be a jumper already installed on the ignition switch, if its a new one.

We didn't have a wire with the switch so made one up from 18 ga and done.

Not trying to be nick picky but your crimper does not look like it's doing a very good job (at least on the insulation).

Should have had a jumper with the ACS switch. It resembles a bicycle chain master link.

Takes about 30 seconds to nip out a piece of metal with snips and drill 2 #19 holes.
