ENGINE IGNITION CIRCUIT
The engine ignition circuit is independent of all other circuits except the kill circuit. It consists of the ignition coil
with internal igniter, spark plug, RPM limiter, and connecting wires (Figure 11b-6, Page 11b-11).

ENGINE KILL CIRCUIT
The ignition coil supplies electrical power for the spark plug; therefore, the proper way to stop the engine is to
run this electrical power to ground, bypassing the spark plug (Figure 11b-7, Page 11b-12).
The engine kill circuit consists of the key switch, a kill limit switch that is activated by the accelerator pedal, a
neutral lockout limit switch that is activated by a cam located on the back of the Forward/Reverse shifter, and
connecting wires. The engine can be stopped by releasing the accelerator pedal, turning the key switch to the
OFF position, or by shifting the Forward/Reverse handle to NEUTRAL. See Neutral Lockout Circuit on
page 11b-13.
