Hi SWMBA! The cable to the IP for start/kill is ok, but the connection is wobbly at the Ip so it goes off to the side at times and does not fully engage kill. The Knob will pull fully out with key turned or not. Might be the cable to the key has gone fully bad and I will be spending the rest of the day chasing that. It would be great if a switch could be mounted under dash to just allow power, but then the interlock would need to be disengaged.....
Used to be able to turn power off, but keep engine going, and walk away with the key. Now I can not get it to even turn to position 0 or 1. Does that "feature" have any relation to the engine shut off? clay On Sep 25, 2008, at 11:07 PM, Jim Cathey wrote: >> OH! That would be really close to the issue.
