Product Overview
A G1 that will not crank, loses ignition when the key is moved, or has a key cylinder that spins or binds may need the switch after battery, solenoid, microswitches, wiring, and engine ignition are checked. This assembly replaces the dash switch and its attached harness.
It is for two-cycle gas G1 carts—not electric G1 systems or later Yamaha models. Match the plug, wire colors, mounting diameter, three key positions, and the J17/J10 number before disconnecting the original.
