Replaced the kill switch with a ramtech fail safe kit while I had the cover off...will the coil loosen in 5 min ?

Yes it will if not tightened properly

Have you tried for spark with the kill switch disconnected

I had to reverse my radio for mine to work

Can I disconnect all wires on the coil and kill switch or do you mean just to disconnect the two leads on the kill switch ?

Thanks

Just leave the radio off an start it on a stand or in the air. The kill switch will be dis--engaged.

I get no spark with the radio off.

I have a connector between the switch and the coil.

I just unplug that.

So what your saying is I have to have the receiver and radio on to start the unit? I have two connectors to the kill switch and two going to coil...I did just install a new ram tech kill switch after it quit to see if it was a bsd kill switch or connection....because of the new kill switch installed do I have to have radio and receiver on to get spark ? I am being told no

Thank you
 
With mine you do but mine is a different one made here in Australia

I don't know about yours but I would listen to Rob

He knows more about RamTech than I ever will

I also had to reverse the channel on the radio to get mine to work

If you have a connector in the line try it with that unplugged but leave the connectors on the coil.Just disconnect the 2 wires to the switch.

If you've tried 2 different switches with no success I'd say the problem is in the radio itself

The Ramtech kill switch will not kill the engine I the Receiver is off. If I were to guess, your wires came off the coil when you installed it.

The unit sputtered and died out BEFORE I installed the ramtech switch.i figured if I am taking the cover off to check the coil connections I might as well put the switch on then while its apart :-)

OK, then did you try and take the gas cap off. The caps are notorious for blockages. That is why we all vent our caps.

The rubber cap under the gas cap was a little off, so I straightened it and put it bsck on...does the plastic circle piece under the rubber diaphragm go on any special way?

I also tried starting the unit with the cap off....

Last night I pulled the buggy outside in the dark and saw no spark from the plug...I am thinking no spark...can I tell somehow if its a coil or a bad plug wire easily ?
