But doesn't that mean that you can idle the engine in the off position but then you have to stop the idle (shut off) to go forward or backward? Maybe going forward will be okay if the motor is running in the same direction as when idling but if you want to go the opposite direction you have to let the engine stop completely and start again in that direction. How would you be able to be sure which direction the motor is turning when in the off idle position?

Off on the key switch remains off so no, you would not be able to idle in off.

Thanks for all this THREAD has to offer ... I just got an 87 Marothon and the guy told me that it would not run unless I flipped this switch under the key and I could not grasp why this was until reading this thread now I know why

However my cart will not run at all unless the FnR switch is engaged

Can someone here tell me what is wired incorrectly so I can get it to idle and warm up like yall are talking about

The switch has a red and black wire both running to the Solenoid but nothing to the starter/gen
