I would use a simple on off switch for each mag and a separate start button.

Yes, the right mag is off for starting. Notice the bottom half of the right switch. Whenever the switch is not in the center position, the right mag is off. And the switch must be moved off center to start the engine. I agree that a key operated starter is the safest. This circuit is not for me. I drew this circuit at the request (quoted below) of someone who posted on VansAirforce. > If I was to use 2 toggle switches (left mag switch would have momentary position for starter) for my magnetos, how could I wire it so that it would operate like a keyed ignition switch, i.e., shut the right mag down during start, but automatically come online after I release the starter? -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=452629#452629 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
