Mend Switch Start Trouble

toggle switch instalment?

ok the question i had was about my generator, this is a shot in the dark ,it wont start ,trouble shootings over the switch is the problem! I want to start it and then be able to shut it off, the electrical plugs will make electricity, so that handles itself as far as plugging in power tools n what have you ,direct from the generator itself, to serve its purpose!! if i could just get it running like i made clear last time, it wants to run but it has no turn on or turn off switch, i aint no genious but ,i think it may be possible to over ride the whole issue toward the wire n toggle all together. needless to express its a ten horse pwr engine 5000 watts, when i got it, the kill switch or turn off switch was missing, my friend told me after giving it to me, thats all it needed, A TOGGLE SWITCH ! to make it run,so transparently and obviously it wont start unless the toggle switch is installed ,can i over ride this or does it actually n factually need a turn on turn off toggle switch ???? ime not familiar with this process, i need insight and instruction, simplified comprehensible applicational instruction,i got a responce from : MR. husqavarny man, thanx for trying my bruthah , is my question trans#loosant now? by the way i bought a round singular 2 pronged toggle switch and i just need your expertise MR. husqeey, sorry i was sooo unclear in my explination the first time around, no one wants to sound like a mental deficient ignoramous, LOL, do i atleast get an A PLUS for effort? ya gatta admitt atleast i sounded like i was large n in charge! lol. hey thanx again MR. husqee, and oh yeah i digg this site. ive been known to throw some info to others here too.i know this job is real easy once i figure it out and some guys are probly laughing at my question but check this out alot of guys cant fix stuff like i do,now thats funny..

Not an easy read...

A "Kill Switch" will either need to ground a wire or remove the wire from ground to kill an engine.

Now if you think about it for a moment, the wire to the kill switch may become open circuit - broken due to damage - so a kill-switch that connects to ground will never work if the wire to it becomes broken. You would not be able to kill the engine - which is a bad thing.

Only by having the kill-wire grounded to allow the engine to run can a kill switch be relied upon. Broken wire or operating the switch - either will kill the engine...

So - the kill wire needs to be attached to ground - the frame of the machine - for the engine to work.

As an experiment just fix the wire to the metal body - tape or screw etc and give it a try. Forget the switch for the time being.

Good luck - and next time stick to the point of your question - nobody cares how cool you are or that you generator is 5kW - you really must improve your communication skills if you want to be a success in business - what would a bank make of a letter written like your megga questions?
