With the ignition in on position I get fire to the points but when I engage the starter there is no fire to points or plug. With the starter disengaged and the ignition on with the engine still drifting to a stop, I have fire to the points and the plug. [Reply]   [No Email]

The symptoms you describe indicates its a magneto switch and not a battery switch. [Reply]  [No Email]

It's just a switch that has failed due to wear and tear. [Reply]  [No Email]

I have bought garden tractors that had the wrong switch on them. I had one that would start when I turned loose of the key, but it was in good condition and the spinning of the engine after I turned loose of the key it would start. [Reply]  [No Email]
