c-series don 9,065 #2 Posted March 28, 2023 It’s a kill switch 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,205 #3 Posted March 28, 2023 Yup. Some had it, some didn’t. Press on it and it grounds out the points. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,512 #4 Posted March 28, 2023 Some engines have it ... some don't. More common on the small blocks or 90/91s. It grounds out the points like a kill or ignition switch might do. Your slacking Don and Kev has faster fingers... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,571 #7 Posted March 29, 2023 Used on Kohler yank-start motors like tillers to kill the spark when done - has a piece of blue spring steel that deflects to ground out the points.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
