CONTROL SWITCH. The brake lever must close the
switch before the starter can be engaged.
Disconnect battery from circuit before making check.
Engines equipped with an electric starter have a control
switch that is attached to the brake lever. The brake
lever must close the switch before the starter can be
engaged.
CHECKING THE CONTROL SWITCH. Disconnect the
battery from the circuit. Use a continuity light or meter
to check control switch operation. Disconnect the wire
harness at the engine. Attach one continuity light lead
to the electric starter lead (see illustration on previous
page.) Attach the other continuity light lead to the battery
ground lead. With leads attached, press the control
switch lever and the continuity light should go on, if not
replace switch.
