Well, no loose wires found. Bought a new switch $45. dealer said I could return it if it didn`t solve the problem. Installed the new switch, same problem, motor won`t shut off. Well I was a bit frustrated, and I switched the two magneto wires. It is not really clear which one goes where, as there are two Ms on the switch, and the directions say one is "raised" but it`s not. Bear in mind that I did the same thing , switching the magneto wires on the old switch with no change. OK, so now I turn the key and nothing happened. I turned the key to on, and jumped the solenoid, and the motor starts, but still won`t stop. I seem to be going the wrong way here,:( any ideas?
