Re: kill button switch on a 9622A 9.5 sportwin

[JACQUES]

quote Chinewalker:

You can take the switch apart to clean the contacts. Remove it from the housing. Spritz a bit of WD-40 on the underside of the switch and gently pry the rubber boot off the plastic base. You’ll see a copper cup in the boot and two posts in the base. Clean them up and gently put the boot back over the base. Issues with these switches are also related to the wires crumbling with age or the wire core going green with corrosion.

good news actually double good news …

my nice 75$ CDN (about $55 US $$$) 9622a (could not wait to pop the flywheel….) now has 0 ohms resistance on the Kill switch, after the clean up you suggested.

The little copper cup inside the "easy to take apart" kill switch was just cruddy with black stuff. All contacts were cleaned and switch reassembled to get 0 ohms pushed in. No need to buy one 🙂

secondly…. found badly cracked coils under th flywheel 😀

This is my 2nd "dirt cheap" 9622a found in this condition. I can’t understand an engine now 51 years old not having been serviced in recent years to change the bad coils to keep it going.

Buy the looks of the disconnect kill switch on one point set and 2 side clips…… somebody tried to work this
thing and did not go all the way and gave up on it.

Seeing cracked coils under the fw…. they just nailed the coffin shut and sold it to me 😀

A new 9.5hp is probably 3-4K$ this one will keep going for many more years for $200 total
