I am having a problem with this motor's kill switch wiring.
The story is, the person I had bought the motor from, removed the kill switch and I am not sure where to wire it back.
I am not sure if it was for a "no-start" situation or why he did it in the first place. After testing the switch, with my Ohmeter, it is working exactly as it should for this Thunderbolt style ignition.
Kill = Open Circuit
Untouched = Closed Circuit
I will post some image links of what I have and I hope someone here can tell me where to wire them back properly.
In this first image, you can see the model and where he removed the switch from...
In this next picture, you will simply see the side of the motor...
In this final picture, you will see the wires attached to the insulated bridge...
Here on the left there is an Orange/Tan looking wire and on the right there is a White looking wire.
I know that the White wire on the Kill Switch is grounded. The Orange wire is on the pushed/open the circuit side.
My question is, do I simply attach the orange to orange from the Kill and white to white to ground?
I don't want to burn something. The only way to stop this motor is to Choke it out.
Very much appreciated for any input on this. Please and thank you.
