Product Overview
A mower that will not crank, will not shut off, or loses power when the key is moved may have an ignition-switch fault—but the battery, fuse, safety interlocks, and harness need to be checked first.
This 430-770-style magneto switch has three positions, six terminals, and a 5/8-inch threaded mounting stem. Terminal letters and magneto circuit must match; a battery-ignition switch that looks similar is not a safe substitute.

Compatibility Notice

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the wrong switch damage the mower wiring? A: Yes. Switches with the same shape can connect terminals differently, so the terminal code and ignition type must match.
Q: Why will my mower crank but not start? A: The switch may be involved, but magneto grounding, safety switches, fuel, and ignition faults should also be diagnosed.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number, equipment model and serial number, dimensions, connector or mounting details, and the product photos. Do not rely on appearance alone.
Q: Is this made by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and model numbers are used only to identify compatible equipment.
