EASY!

Buy a normally open or universal kill switch. Mount it in a convenient position. Take a jumper from the white "M" terminal of the ignition switch to one normally open terminal of the kill switch. run a wire from the other normally open terminal to either a good ground OR the BLUE "M" terminal on the ignition switch.

When the kill switch closes, the white goes to ground (either through the blue wire or the ground you chose) and the ignition stops.

Re: Kill Switch

Thanks Frank

The switch i purchased is the Saf-T-Stop kill switch and my ignition has 5 or 6 wires coming off of it is there any chance you may now what color wire i am suppose to connect the red wire to coming out of the kill switch.

Re: Kill Switch

I don't know that switch, however: The switch instructions should tell you what the red wire is. Red is almost universally positive so my guess--and it is just that, a guess-- would be to attach the red to the white wire on the ignition switch and find the other normally open terminal to attach to blue or ground.

Re: Kill Switch

Which one would be normally open? I have one that has four contacts. Two are labeled M and two are labeled C.
