Re: Stus-List Replacing Perkins ignition switch

2017-10-09 Thread Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List 
There is, but not “mandatory”.

On mine, the starter would not start if the key is not in the “glow plug” 
position. This is the factory set-up.

Some people change this to a separate “pre-heat” switch and no interlock. The 
advantage is that you don’t have voltage drop on the glow plugs, when you crank 
the engine. If the battery is weak, this could be a plus.

Btw. I am not advocating the change; only pointing out that there are two 
schools of thought.

Do you have a tractor supply/repair store near you?  Pull the switch, take it 
to their parts guy.  He will probably have a replacement.

Otherwise, it should be fairly available online.  I'm not familiar with that 
exact switch but you're probably looking for a 4 position ignition switch.  The 
4 positions should be : Off, Ign, Start and Pre-heat or Heat.  A switch with 
the correct order of the positions is what you're looking for.

I think it is a 3 position: off, run, start/glow plugs. This is how it is on my 
Perkins.

It is hard to say, but when I dropped my ignition key into the drink (don’t ask 
how), I replaced the ignition switch with “the cheapest” from our local 
chandlery. It is not that special. I think that the “special” thing is how you 
connect it.
