Reply To: OMC Kill-switch question

[JACQUES]

very odd.   the additional A switch  ground  should not  be necessary …… if  the ground referrence on the points is at the same ” ground” potential .

your conclusion  “points”  to  an inadequate grounding of the  ignition points when  closed during the low side of the  lobe . . .

 

if you locally  kill the ignition  with a normal open push switch mounted  somehwere close to the points  …..thereby  joining  the points

does it  die ?

if not … the problem is  strickly engine side located

 

btw  your  sketch seems wrong   wires  should  link both  point grounds  not one to the ground side  (right one) and the left one to the point side .
