Hey all,
I just purchased a predator 420 engine to replace an old engine on my kart. I already have a key switch in the front of the kart by the seat that was stock with the kart and was hooked up to the old Subaru engine. I need help rewiring this predator so that I can start the engine from the front key switch. Any advice would be appreciated!

Pics of what you have would be helpful :thumbsup:

FYI: Your average ignition switch has (2) functions
…& (2) different switches, inside :cheers2:

First there is a simple (SPST) latching, On/Off switch (the first click, when the ignition is activated)
...this connects to the engine's coil (to "shut" the engine off)

There's also, a (SPST) momentary switch (the "spring loaded" secondary action)
...this connects to the starter (to "start" the engine)


* I would follow the wires, from the dash to the engine, to familiarize yourself with where they go
…& what they do :cool:
