Well it popped off! It ran for about 30-40 seconds, then kept trying to start, then never got her to turn over again - kicked it til I was warn out. Gas is fresh and tank is clean, so I'll pull carb and see if that helps - - has good blue spark tho! THANKS for the wiring tips!!!

.

Single wire kill switches will ground out to the handlebars when the switch is activated, . . . or . . . some switches (like your toggle switch) will need a second wire attached that will go to a near-by ground . . . NOT back to the coil though.

on a 2 pole switch one wire goes to the black wire to your coil and the other needs to go to ground.

might need to clean the carb if it has sat a long time since it was last run.
