Inrush current to starter solenoid pull-in coil is around 50 amps, instantaneous. Hold-in coil is less, probably in the 10 to 15 amps range.
A much better circuit to SWITCH is the neutral safety switch, interrupting the low current to actuate the starter RELAY, around 1/4 amp. |

12 volt /15 amp or less switch for these
Auto = neutral safety switch Clutch = lock out switch These are pretty convenient and easy to wire a single pole switch inline. |

You really don't want to fool around with heavy gauge wiring for a switch, if nothing else that heavy wire will stick out like a sore thumb to anybody seriously looking to steal your car. A lockout or neutral safety line will let you use thin wires, and the switch can be discreetly hidden without a huge honking 2GA wire leading to it. |

Simple.
Put a switch inline with the fuel pump relay. No worries about current then. |
