Hi guys! First of all I just want to say sorry, cuz I know there are thousands of tutorials about making kill switches, but I really can't understand how. I can't find anything that looks like what I have.
Well..i have this

Well..can anyone help me? A paint diagram would be very useful. Thanks in advance!

Well then we would need to know what you are trying to hook it up to. .. BTW- please fill out your profile so we know where you are from. Someone here may speak your native tongue (or live next door).......

The two red wires and the one white wire, do thy go to points/contacts/breakers?

It's a minibike/scooter kind of thing?

check it out now, I hope telling my location would help me wire that kill switch :))

Thanks for filling out your profile. We would still need pictures of where you think they might go......I can go back over the basics ( for what it's worth )........

The black wire obviously goes to ground ( anywhere you can find it on the engine. The short red wire is a positive and should go somewhere on the engine... ( now- since I have never seen one of these engines in my life- can I tell you where? ) The plug you say " from engine" goes to the kill switch/ ignition switch. I can't see the last wire well enough. .... My hope is that someone closer to you may know more. But you are basically still doing is this- you are showing a picture of different keys and asking which locks they fit- without showing us the locks....:useless:

Guys, come on, take it easy on the foreign new guy; I saw this post hours ago & knew exactly what he was asking; I didn't respond because I had no useful information to offer (& I was still 3/4 asleep)...

in fact, it doesn't start. It is a 2 positons(on/off) scooter key switch, I don't know how you call it but you turn the key on and then you press a button to start the engine.When it is off black/white and green wire are connected. When it's on black and red wires are connected. In the other image you see that plug which comes from engine. Well it comes from here

If those plugs are connected(the one in first post which says 'from engine' and the one in this post which says "here")and I spin the axle the engine would start. I hope it's more clearly now.

If I understand you correctly the easiest way to so this is to ground the source from the stator , killing the spark. The best solution would be to have a 3 pole switch with a input, and 2 outputs. Connect one output inline with the ignition system and the other to the ground/engine.

I don't think I quite understand your explanation of your key switch, there should be one wire that stays the same when you turn the key.

Unfortunately I can't explain how my key switch works more than I did. It is just a 4 wire scooter key switch. If you search this on Google you can find thousands switches matching mine but no diagram. Wiring a kill switch is harder than I thought. :|

So why cant a momentary switch be wired inline with one end attached to the spark plug(s) and the other to ground. Isnt that how a briggs works essentially. Most likely will have to hold it down.
