I'm going to be putting in a dual electronic ignition, dual battery setup

and in order to maintain separate redundant ignition systems will have

separate ignition toggle switches. I could use a simple push to start switch

to the starter contactor, but would like the albeit minor security of a

keyed switch. Does anyone know of a source for a keyed SPST momentary push

to start or turn to start switch? It should be able to handle at least 5

amps at 14 volts DC. Thanks in advance for any info.

Grant,

I had the same need for security, what with curious kids today.  I 

purchased a good one from

O'Rielly's Automotive as a stock item and it didn't give me any problems 

at all.  You'd have an accessory terminal

that is useful for auxiliary lighting as well.

Grant,

I got my switch at my local John Deer Dealer, those tractors have 

starters as large as my Suburu. Come to think of it that's also where I 

get my oil filters.

Probably a good move, at least on the switch,  I have had tractor, 

forklift, backhoe etc starter switches go bad that had lasted for Who knows 

how many years in rough outdoors environment. And like a doofis I go down to 

the local auto parts house and replace it with cheap auto switch which 

does'nt last but maybe a year, done it several times. I keep a cheap spare 

in my desk drawer. Maybe next time one goes bad I'll remember that you get 

what you pay for and get an original equipment replacement. Hopefully they 

still make em as good as they used to. One thing about it a starter switch 

going bad is definately not going to spoil your day it's just so easy to 

jumper around them.

Larry,



What software did you use to do your wiring diagrams?  Beautiful!

I'm an electrical moron (the electrical scares me more than 100 fuel tanks) 

but if you like the push-to-start button feature (I plan to do this - I 

think it's kinda cool), there may be a simple key-operated circuit 

disconnect you could install between the start button and the starting 

circuit.  You could conceal this keyed-switch wherever you wanted for 

security (under the IP?), but maintain the push-to-start feature.  I 

personally don't know of a source for this keyed disconnect, but I'm sure 

the many experienced people on this list may have an idea.  I suppose it 

also adds an additional failure mode, too.  Just an idea.

But not a flight critical failure.  You may just be stuck on the ground 

until you fix it or jump it out.
