Have been wrestling with my bag of electronic parts to convert a wheelhorse 10HP Raider engine from a solid state coil that ran off the magneto to a solid state that uses a coil, module, an an automotive type ignition switch.
Here are some things I am puzzled about.
The new ignition switch does not ground out when turned off. I thought this was necessary to shut off the engine.
The module has two terminals for imput from the old ssi coil that was modified to work off a internal transistor. I believe the old ssi coil is internally grounded. Does that mean I only need to attach one wire to the module as long is it is also grounded?
Do I need a resister to cut down voltage from 12v to 9v going into the new automotive coil?
How can I be sure that the voltage from the battery is not dirrected into the ssi coil. I need to know this before I attach the battery to the switch.
My ignition switch has the following letters s,b,i,a and r
