Emergency kill switch/ ignition disabled?

[mathbeak]

Another question, have always wondered, even before my current BF50 remote - If I want to spin the engine with the electric starter, to fog cylinders, check compression, etc., I can just pull the plastic "fork" out of the emergency kill switch, and there is no need to worry about grounding the plugs, or damaging the ignition system - Right??? There would be no power to the ignition, I figure.<br /><br />Thanks,

That's the way I see it also Alan.

Thank you, Captain S. - I just needed to confirm what I already believed. I was thinking of making an aluminum plate, threaded for 3 sparkplugs and with a battery clamp for grounding, when I realized that the kill switch would be better.<br /><br />Thanks again,

You can bet that thousands of people have cranked their motors over with the kill switch detached, completely on accident. If that would cause damage you'd have quite a few boats lined up for new ignition systems.
