Back in 2010 the options for PB start were limited but I found one from Watson's StreetWorks, a multiple relay system with a maintained "Accessory" PB and a second spring return to "ON" PB for "Start". The down side is that there's no security, like the key fob on a modern PB start, so the only thing you can do is hide a toggle switch that breaks the connection to ground. I have two, one a simple toggle, and one that's a security key like you see on vending machine coin boxes, the circular key with custom cutouts. A problem is that the "Start" PB engages the starter, then spring returns to "ON". If the engine does not start on the initial crank you must press the PB to "OFF", then the next push engages the starter again. With my EFI, the logic enriches the injector pulse width on the initial "Start", then if you reengage the starter it drops back to the normal "RUN" pulse on the injectors. However, if you turn the key "OFF", it resets the logic and triggers the enriched pulse. For me, with the PB Relays, every time the starter is engaged it's pushing extra fuel, tending to flood the engine, or worse wash the cylinders. It's time to abandon the relays and PB's, and put in a key switch.
