Yah, i guess you could use a pushbutton for the bypass instead of
the starter circuit. That might even be a cute anti-theft provision
for a street car.

But the intent of the cutout switch is not to prevent engine
damage from low oil pressure. The intent is to stop engine fires
when you hit something or turn over - you don't want that
fuel to keep pumping after the engine has stopped because
the fuel line ruptured!
