Ignition key needs to held on
- Thread starter bigdogg1
- Start date
Best to replace switch. I had the opposite issue in the past where the key kept starter engaged.

So a little further investigation. Key engages starter, motor starts as expected, then may or may not continue to run as normal. Once in awhile, releasing the key in the start position does result on the motor turning off.
Six wires coming out the back of the switch - White, Black, Grey, Orange, Green, and Brown.
Connections from these wires appear to be intact but could one of them cause the motor to stop?
Easy enough to replace the switch but would prefer to cut and splice one wire instead of six. Will also look at the kill switch functionality. It appears to be solid but maybe something there to pursue as well.

Replace the switch. If it was a kill switch issue there would be zero spark and zero running.

Tip: stuff a bunch of fluid film in your new switch.

Hey SH, I have always found FF to be a great rust inhibitor for electrical connections but it is also an attractant for dust and grit etc. Do you mean FF on the wire connections?Tip: stuff a bunch of fluid film in your new switch.

All I know that I makes things last alot longer in our environment. Including internals to electrical mechanical devices like switches of all kinds
