Thanks again Warren....

I checked the switch again, and it seems OK (I think I originally checked the mounting screws instead of the bottom blade connectors; oops.....). Anyway, the switch seems OK, except one of the bottom blade connectors is missing. I've already fixed that.

The wiring from the switch to the cut-off solenoid is fine, and the wiring from the switch back to the RPM transducer is also OK. But, I checked for 12v at the wire from the transducer with the idle above 1800rpm (with the throttle lever), and nothing. I pulled the transducer and opened it up, and everything looks OK. No obvious circuit problems on the rpm transducer board. Maybe I didn't rev high enough.

My next step will be to reinstall the transducer and try again (I cleaned the leads), and if that doesn't work, I'll have to check the other wiring to the transducer (power source, ground, and signal from distributor, I think...). Hopefully I'll be able to get all that going, and then the only question left will be the shut-off solenoid.

If I apply 12v to the solenoid lead, should I be able to hear a 'click' if it's working?

Thanks again for the help,
Dave....
