Sometime ago, I purchased a starter relay from Vans Aircraft.

Now that I am ready to start the wiring of my RV-8, I need to know how the terminals on the relay labeled "S" and "I" should be wired?

Thanks in advance,

Dale,
The relay you mention is actually a Ford starter relay. S stands for
START and I stands for IGNITION BYPASS. To engage the relay, you need to
apply 14 volts to the S terminal. For our use, the I terminal isn't needed.
However, you could run a 22 AWG wire from the I terminal up to a "starter
engaged" enunciator lamp on the instrument panel. Run the other lead from
this lamp to your single point ground block. The lamp would warn you if the
relay ever stuck "on".
