Yes, that’s correct. That said, there are no knife connectors. There’s modern insulated spade connectors, instead. This engine was a basket case, and is being restored, but with modern electrical components. But whether they’re old-style connectors or modern, the concept remains the same: connecting the magneto kill wires to each other kills spark….as it should. And, correct: during that test, the vacuum switch was out of the circuit.
But extend those same wires to a remote kill switch (with the vacuum switch in the circuit, properly wired) and only the bottom spark dies.
I’ll try to do more testing tonight.
