All I can comment on is that I finally found someone else who has a saw with that toggle kind of kill switch that has malfunctioned and now shocks the user as they try to kill the saw. Echo still uses those things and I had a run in with a bad one and some Echo guy on here swore up and down that it was impossible to happen. I suppose he would be in total agreement with this one though....

BTW, I am not ragging on the saw at all. These switches just do that apparently and as age get on them the likelihood is greater. Just thought I would point out that it is not an unheard of problem.
 
Most likely.
I've talked with several old saw guys and they laughed and said cut the kill wire as close to the coil as you can. Then just kill with the choke.
