I have a motor that will not shut off when you turn the key off. Its not dieseling it like the kill switch isnt working if it has one. Shouldnt the motor die when you turn the key off? Or am i supposed to have a separate kill switch wired into the magneto?

Check this out with an ohm meter.

(Ignition Kill Circuit)
(J. Reeves)

A Black wire (ground) should lead from the powerhead to the powerpack. There will also be a Black/Yellow wire leading from the powerpack to a raised "M" terminal of the ignition switch. To complete the circuit, there will be a Black wire from the other "M" terminal of the ignition switch to ground.

When the key is in the OFF position = The two "M" terminals are connected,. effectively shorting/killing the ignition.

When the key in ON position = The two "M" terminals are not connected and the ignition is engaged.
