The emergency kill switch on my CC boat has given problems since new. I have a 96 Johnson 112 engine and the kill switch is built into the ignition switch. Many times when you push in the key for the choke, the kill switch clip falls off. When you release the choke, the engine dies from the kill switch being activated. Bad design. Several times while running down the lake I would look down to see the clip off the kill switch and the boat would still be running. I had a hard time starting the engine last time out partly due to the kill switch problem and a bad starter. Now I'm getting weak to no spark at the plugs. Is it possible that the kill switch is not making a good connection causing this weak to no spark condition ? Next stop is the repair shop, but I sure would hate for it to be something as simple as a bad switch. I know the switch has had problems in the past.
