Does the motor have a diode on it's power connection?
I know in electronics the motor fires back a pulse (when the magnetic field
collapses) when it's turned off. we get by this by sticking a diode in
parallel with the power pins.

Does this apply in this case? Was just wondering if it might reduce the
amount of spark/oxidation on your points.

Answer A - The Cole Hersee switch should work. The problem will be pitting
of the points everytime you use it to turn the motor off. However,
ignition
switches are designed to handle a certain amount of this.

Answer B - You do not need an additional fuse. The 15 amp protection at
the
distribution panel is adequate to protect the 14 gauge wire. Using 10
gauge
wire for most of the run is a good idea, that will help minimize voltage
drop and keep the motor happy.
