I tested the ignition coil, and it’s good, so it leads me to believe it’s the kill switch. I texted continuity with the kill switch in the off position and got “0” on the multimeter, as it should be. I tested it in the on position and got “OL” on the multimeter, so I have no continuity with the kill switch in the on position. This made me think it’s definitely the kill switch. However, I disconnected the kill switch and tried to start it, and got no spark still…. Thoughts?

Resistance chart said 14.8k was correct and I was getting 14.8-14.9. You’re right on the kill switch, had it messed up in my head. Guess it’s not that.

God Bless, David B. Yep. It has to be touching the engine. Lay it on the edge of the hole you took it out. Angle it to where you can see the gap. Get someone to spin it over.
