hey guys i got my wiring "aka key switch" all hooked up and im having a problem with it

once i turn the key the vanny will crank and once i turn the key off the vanny will keep cranking ???

one thing though when i had the engine bolted in the kill switch on the side of the motor came out and i placed it back in do u think thats my problem on why the switch will not kill the engine >?

The wires from the coils that go to the kill terminal on the engine probably came off.

well there is a kill switch on the side of the engine that looks like a bolt with a nut on it and that part came out....does the coil wires connect to that ?

If its the kill terminal its in the side panel. The coil wires connect to the back (faston tabs) & kill switch to the front. It grounds the coils to stop the engine

make sure your key switch itself is grounded,,,, my swith mounted in the plastic dash and wouldnt kill the motor,, i had to put a ground wire on the switch,,,

thanks for the tip i think its grounded to the frame but i dont think the frame its self is grounded

i took the cover off my engine and fixed the coil wires to make the engine shut off but still does not work. is there any other way i can wire a switch/toggle switch to make it shut off ?

Get your tester out. The ignition terminal on the key should ground when 'off'. Like said it grounds through the body of the key switch so it has to be grounded to work. It will hook to nothing when key is 'on'....providing you have a vanguard or lawn type key switch. You hook that to the wire(s) from the mag coils near the flywheel. Also remember the engine cradle is not hooked to the frame only through the pivots, though the engine will be grounded to run the starter, and you could have the engine on rubber mounts like I did so the cradle is not grounded lol.

yea i grounded the switch because my dash is plastic, a wire goes straight to the neg post on the battery and then to the switch.

in the diagram for a 6 pole switch #3 is exposed to be the shut off and that goes to the bolt on my motor where my coil wires are thats how i have it set up
