Default Re: Help wiring starter generator

I see the diode in the schematic but I don't have the additional wires hooking o the solenoid so I'm not sure what the diode does.
My wiring is pretty simple.
Hot wire to ign switch
Hot wire to relay that opens the white/black for shutting down engine
Start wire to solenoid
Lights
Oil level switch

Generator wiring is still original.

What I need to do is in install a micro on the gas pedal to engage the solenoid and provide 12v to close solenoid. Where does the diode go and what is it's purpose?
