Kill Switch Circuit

[DennisB]

Could someone post a picture of the kill switch circuit ? I had a little accident and all my cable connections are disconnected -.- I thought that the kill switch just switches the ingnition line to the ground, but theres also the little box...

Hope the grammar isn`t too bad (sent from Android phone)

Thanks

It'd help to know what engine this was.

Reference the attached image, including the connector that is unplugged in the pic.
Carter- It's a GX-series clone. You can't miss 'em.

Don't connect the oil sensor wire. It can sometimes shut your engine down when you make a turn. Just be sure to keep an eye on your oil level

Thanks! Yes it's a Lifan Honda gx200 clone engine.

The only honda I've ever worked on is the old honda outboard on my grandpa's boat. Multiple carbs make for a bad time.

You can remove the little gold box (relay) altogether. The kill switch is grounded on one side and the other can be connected directly to the black wire that is connected to the the coil (disappearing under the engine sheet metal). The yellow wire coming out of the crankcase is the oil level sensors wire. It is best to disconnect this wire as it may shut off the engine if the gokart makes a tight turn or hits a bump. There is often provision after the relay has been tempted to hook up a second kill switch that the driver can reach. You can also use this connection for some tachometers. So in short disconnect the yellows and connect the blacks straight to the kill switch tacho etc.
