1967 20 hp kill switch

[yodel3]

I have continuity between my kill switch wires. If I stick a continuity tester on the ends of the two wires, I get a light. I don't know totally how the kill switch works, but I'm guessing this is not normal. Any guesses?

thanks!

It is normal. Continuity is to the coil, to ground, to other coil, back through second wire. The outer ends of the wires are not normally connected together, so the coils are not connected together. But the kill button connects them, shorting the two coils together, killing the ignition.
