Re: Not running well above 2000 rpms!!

How did you bypass the kill switch?
Is it still bypassed?

Hopefully you did not jump the connections together.

The kill switch is seperate from the key ignition, just has one wire in, one out.
I disconnected the two wires from the ignition to the kill switch and tied them together.
I don't think it hurt anything, as the damn thing still will not start..

I am not positive on yours but I believe on most motors the kill switch and the ignition switch shut down the motor by shorting to ground a wire to the CDI or ECU.
If you tied those two together that may be telling it not to run.

I quit, what a bone head. I'll check that out..
In the mean time I am dropping it off @ John's Marine in Stanton.
I'll report back once I know more, and thanks again for all your guys help.
