Product Overview
This keyed ignition switch controls the machine's main electrical and starting circuits. It is a useful replacement when the original switch has worn contacts, turns intermittently or no longer sends power reliably to the start circuit.
Check battery voltage, fuses, connectors and related ignition wiring before replacing the component so another electrical fault is not mistaken for a bad switch or module.
