Hi JC, remember our talks about isolating the ignition while cranking? you told me the way to do it, and you checked it out yourself. Can you tell me again what to do? many thanks. Richard

I copied this from and old thread.


OK I just tried it had kill switch on bar off
and key on crossed the starter motor leads at the seliond and it was cranking then fliped the kill switch on while cranking and it started NO fi light.
It did take a couple of extra seconds due to the fuel pump had to pressurize the rail.
I would suggest to have the pump running while doing this it would be an instant start.But you know how to do that.
Let me know what you think.

why not just put a toggle switch off the coil hot wire comin off the handle bar kill.the wire runs down the left side then to the coils.interupting this will interupt only the coils if done after the handle bar switch.

What sort of current is being switched here Richard? A couple of amps or are we talking tens of amps? And what sort of delay, a couple of seconds? Would a small delay circuit (electronic) that disconnected the ignition for a few seconds before dropping a circuit breaker or relay back into position do the trick? That way you could build the thing to trigger a breaker when you engaged the ignition through the key and drop after a preset time without the need for a separate switch.
