I thought the idea for a kill switch was to short out the coil , i did this by shorting out the main

power feed to the coil, all this did was smoke up the switch wiring and i think knackered the

switch .I am now thinking the right proceedure is to short the two terminals on the coil that feed

the front and rear pots (single fire ignition ). can some one confirm that this would be correct

before i burn my shed down .

hows it going wally sort the mufflers out

G'day Bluey , yes the mufflers are on but certainly are very restrictive , so much so

the motor seemed to be flooding , 80 k's top speed ! I put a crowbar through to

make about 1/2 " hole in each which helped , when i get passed the sound test with the engineer

I'll stick the crowbar right through . The cv carb jets have most likley been messed with

in a previous life , i just want to get the thing engineered and on the road .

Hows your new unit going then .

wally

Thanks Ray , i have trouble getting how a coil actually works , like theres

threes wires coming from the ignition modual to the coil ,power , front ,back cylinder

thought if i short the power one would kill the lot.

WALLY I HAVE REPLACED MY CARBY SO IF YOU LIKE YOU CAN HAVE MY OLD CV CARBY THAT WAS WORKING FINE

Bluey ,

thanks for the offer of your old cv but i'm sure this one is ok , it just

needs some attention that i havent given it , its been sitting for some

time and i expect it to work correctly first time,thanks very muchjust the same .

Scotty ,

please accept my apology , this is a flogger that i am scratching together , it is an 1993

evo motor with a crane HI 4 ignition with a single fire coil, making my own wiring harness

and having difficulty in working out how to incorperate the kill switch . My clymer wiring diagrams

all have dual fire coils so i can't follow them as my coil has a terminal for each cylinder .If i only

earthed 1 pot through the kill switch would this be sufficient to kill the motor or would she still run

on one ?

 

dont quote me but we used to run the kill switch on the positive wire to the coil so the switch effectivly cuts flow to the coil so it cant fire or buildup to fire ,not actualy shorting anything out at all?! just a thort ..

Scotty ,

its a little modual in the nose cone

Aussie,

i was thinkingto send the cuurent to earth would stop the coil from working

Scotty ,

thanks v. much for your time and thoughts and imputs ,because the red ignition wire

and power feed from the key are both joined on that centre post i think i'll just melt

the wires again .

my plan now is to run the power wire from the ignition switch through a normally closed relay

and run kill switch on the other side of the relay so when the kill switch is pressed the circuit

completes therefore cutting the power to the coil . But i'm going to try your way first because i

can't find a normally closed relay, if there is such a thing.

thanks everyone for your help .wally
