The starter button on the 8N controls the ground to the starter solenoid. Your solenoid is already grounded through the frame, so you need to un-ground the solenoid somehow and hook a wire to the start button so the it will activate the solenoid by closing the ground.
The other way to do it is to use a standard 6 prong accessory relay (available at any auto parts store) to control the hot wire to the start solenoid. Power in to relay at terminal 86, ground (start button) at termial 85. Power in to load at terminal 30, load out at terminal 87. Ignore terminal 87A. This WILL make it work the way its supposed to. I have wired a couple 8Ns and 800s this way, so it does work. Not original, but sometimes easier than isolating the start solenoid.
