Remote (ignition) stop switch
To test the remote stop switch:
1. Remove the muffler cover.
2. Disconnect the two wires from the remote switch.
See Figure 7.5.
3. Connect a digital multimeter to the two tabs on the
back of the remote switch.
4. Set the multimeter to the ohms (Ω) scale.
• With the key fully inserted, the multimeter should
not show continuity. See Figure 7.6.
• With the key removed, the meter should show con-
tinuity.
5. If the test results do not match the results described
in step 4, replace the remote switch.
NOTE: If the engine does not stop when the key is
removed and the remote switch is working prop-
erly; proceed to step 6.
