Clark C500-25 s/n 235 615 3676 Wiring

I bet I'm going to regret working on this antique but I've started repairing a no-crank on a 70's (?) era C500. Some "mechanic" already replaced the key switch.

I can't be sure of the wiring on the anti restart relay or the key switch. Does anyone know how these old Clarks were wired? I used to know these things front to back but the only thing I remember from the 70's is that the solenoid "S" terminal got the orange wire. Well, not the only thing I remember; I remember the pachouli incense also but that's not going to help me wire this thing.

I found my diagram. Terminal 1 goes to the starter solenoid. Terminal 2 goes to the neutral start switch. Terminal 3 goes to the alternator R terminal. If it has a fourth terminal that would be ground.

Yeah, the neutral start switch is ok. I've got B+ getting to the relay on start, I just wanted to confirm it was going to the right terminal. I seem to remember we had a lot of trouble with those relays.

First thing to check is the neutral start switch. it is in the side of the trans control cover. The starter solenoid wire runs directly through the switch.
