I recently installed a new ignition switch. I have power going to it and one wire going to the solenoid. The engine cranks fine but how do I set up a kill-switch? Sould there be a wire running to ground off the ingniton switch? :confused:

I have a separate dashboard kill switch that simply grounds the points together.

Mabey this might help you. Ignore what they say about the ground wire on the switch, and the black/yellow stripe wire. Instead, connect each magneto wire (should be black) to a 'M' terminal. They should do exactly what Lark40 said.<br />Hope this helps!

Thanks I will give these tips a try as soon as I get it running. I still have the factory wiring harness so it may be a challenge figure out which wire goes to the magnito from the junction box. I noticed some black wires going to the vaccum cutout on the port side.
