Sure, just connect the two kill wires and crank away for your compression test. For a kill switch, just get a normally open pushbutton - they have ones with rubber covers to protect it from the elements. I get mine at a tractor/farm store.

Kill switches are available right here on IBoats. You need a switch that is OPEN for normal operation (lanyard clip in place) and CLOSED when the lanyard is pulled (engine kills).

I've used these guys several times and they work great.

Here's a pic of one I put on my old '61 10 hp. I just put it where the old, factory kill switch was installed.
