Re: 2126 model wiring question/diagram

The colored AEA style wiring diagram is not the best but it does sort of have most of the switches laid out in kind of a birds eye view of their location on the car.
Nothing from the OD lockout switch should connect to the carburetor switch if you are referring to the switch on the back of the carb as the carburetor switch. That is the starter switch and if the repro loom colors are correct, there should be a black wire from the ignition switch going to the terminal on the fender side of the switch and another black wire from the other terminal on the switch to one of the small screw terminals above the large battery and starter motor studs on the starter solenoid. The other small screw terminal connects to the regulator A or GEN terminal if the safety circuit is still connected.
The throttle switch in the diagram is the sort of square switch with a plunger that is mounted low on the firewall and is actuated by the accelerator linkage. That one is more commonly known as the OD kickdown switch. One of it's wires does go to the OD lockout switch, the other wire on the throttle or kickdown sw is from the pigtail labeled OD in the photo of the governor bottom.
Here is a factory diagram showing a different view of the switches along with the wire colors. It is somewhat harder to follow than the colored AEA diagram because you need to find the number of the wire in the circle and relate it to the list that shows the color and the to and from location. The other diagram is the Autolite starter solenoid used on the 356 showing the safety circuit and how the relay gets ground thru the generator.
