I suppose the immobiliser could disable the starter solenoid, or the electric

Touch web site suggests they currently provide two lines of protection,
perhaps the starter solenoid and something else.

Usually, add on immobilisers are wired in parallel (shorting out) and
series (isolating) with the various circuits, to prevent a vehicle
being started. That being the case, it should simply be a case of
removing the isolating series connections and rejointing the parallel
ones - checking the colour codes and joining identical coloured wires.

Unless it's a model-specific one that hooks into ECUs. But that would seem
unlikely in this case.

Can you find a wiring diagram for how it's supposed to be wired without the
immobiliser?

Yes, found one thanks. Confirms there is no ECU on this engine (which
removes one big worry).
