    Don't see where that would be a problem so long as the wire is of approriate gauge and the switch can handle the amps. It would be doing the same thing as the solenoid.

    Does your solenoid not work at all or are you just trying to replace the starter button with a switch?

    If it was the switch you wanted to replace you can just tap your new switch inplace of the button. The solenoid is just a big relay.
