Ensure you are using the correct type of switch. You must use one that GROUNDS the magneto kill wire when the switch is OFF, and leaves it OPEN for RUN and START.

DON'T use and automotive switch - this will switch battery voltage to the ignition coil and destroy it instantly.

take off the wire's from the switch, start the engine earth one wire at a time.....the one that kill's the engine is the one that should go from the switch to earth.
