Kill switch not working on Yam 55BE

[DJjuanSA]

My Kill switch or key dose not kill the engine
and I think the problem could be the CDI unit is this correct and is there a way to check this befor I buy a new CDI

Thanks DJjuanSA

juan,
I would suspect a bad ignition switch and a bad kill switch. The kill switch can be removed from the console (I am assuming you have remote control) and disassembled and serviced - the contacts corrode and will not make electrical contact. I don't think the igniton switch is serviceable. Probably will have to replace.
Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img] ,

I have tested the kill switch and the key switch and both seem to be working fine .

juan,
I would check the wiring from the keyswitch to the CDI - sounds like the "ignition on" wire has 12 volts on it all the time for some reason.
