Has anyone any experience with the Lifan electric start engines .
I repair lawnmowers and have previously worked for 10 years as a automatic door engineer so I am fairly familiar with electrical wiring.
Now, the problem i am having is that I cannot get my head around the way the ignition of the lifan engine is wired.
Normally a lawnmower key switch in the off position has two terminals which are NC , which earths the engine spark.
Then when in the run position another pair of terminals will close allowing the power to flow to the coil.
Start position allows power to flow to the starter solenoid . There is also an auxiliary position for lights ect.
On the lifan switch I can get the pair of contracts which kills the engine spark but that's it ! In any other key position all the contracts are NO.
In the photo contact 1 and 2 are NC when key is off, kill circuit.
Number 3 is the rectifier, I think !
Number 4, yellow cable is going to the low oil switch
Surely this can't be right.
Oh, the reason for all of this is because I want to put the switch up on the dash but I want to use a lawnmower type switch so that I have extra contacts for auxiliary items.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
