R51/3 - can't kill the engine...
The magneto kill wire goes from its pole on the magneto to pole # 2 in the headlight's ignition switch plate.
As far as I know, this is the right connection. The key itself activates ok and turns on/off all other lights correctly, etc.
I need to pull one sparkplug cup off to still it
As always - your help much appreciated...

Re: R51/3 - can't kill the engine...
/points/condensor to kill the engine
If you look at the movable contact on the switch board,it has a top contact that when the key is down connects battery positive to lights ect
Their is another contact point on the bottom of the movable contact ( which is hard to see) that connects #2 wire to ground when the key is removed killing the spark
If you push down on the movable contact with the key out it should kill the engine, clean this and it should work
