run + accesssory ?

[bean 85]

I was riding on the 73 8hp today and noticed the key had 2 positions. "run" and also "run plus accessory". how is the second position different from the first? :huh:

Hey bean, I can't say for sure about your 73-8, but on my GT-14, it has that switch set up. The ACC position is for the electric clutch and any other accesories that might be on that circuit.

As an aside, I love your fovorite model too!

From the owners manual:

"The ignition switch has four positions from left to right (1) off, (2) run and accessories, (3) run, (4) start.

To start the engine, turn the key all the way to the right. Release the key when the engine starts and it will automatically return to "run" position.

The key must be turned back manually to "run and accessories" position before the optional electro-magnetic clutch or electrical accessories

will function. When the switch is turned off, the engine stops end all electrical accessories are turned off as well."

Hope this explains it.

My Case 210 has the same thing. a (4 position switch) which is how you turn the lights on for it.

Yep, like assembly instructions too...only as a last resort.

instructions are just another mans opinion. :ychain:

Just because they have an opinion that they can't keep to themselves...doesn't make them right.
