What’s that? You say need a Miller conversion?

 

I have a question on this diagram. The ignition switch has 3 wires coming off of it. It doesn't have the wire from the ignition switch to the start side of the starter shown. My question is what is the top wire from the ignition switch to the coil? I see the power wire from the ignition switch going through the resistor to the coil. What does the third wire do? If it's 12 volt it bypasses the resistor, if it's power from the coil to the switch, it wouldn't be 12 volts would it? I've never wired an ignition like this.

Top wire is supposed to come from a small terminal on the starter solenoid, not the ignition switch. Energized only when the starter is turning to provide a full 12 volts to the coil and get hotter spark to get started more easily.
