[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 391883, member: 7544"] You gotta do what you think is right but I personally don't believe it's the switch. The reason for that, is that there is only 1 wire from the switch that connects to or should affect the ignition and that is the orange one for the kill function. All the other wires go to the starter solenoid, the elec choke if you have one, the tach is you have one etc. No other wires go to the ignition unless it's wired wrong. :lol: Let us know what you find out. If you feel like trying one more thing I do have something in mind. Look at the schematic you posted. See down by the switch box where it says NOTE on the schematic? Disconnect the orange wire at that point and see what happens. I'm thinking you might have a short in your wire harness. [/QUOTE]
