Husky 350 kill switch wires?

[mdm1954]

Please be kind now. Where does the black grounding wire from the kill switch harness connect? I took the harness off when doing some other work on the saw and have forgot where I put the harness and how the black wire hooks up. It has to go to a grounding screw some where. A pic or drawing would be very helpful. Thanks Mike

Underneath the top ignition coil mounting bolt hole.

That's what i thought. Thanks. Sorry to be a bother.

And if you had the saw apart good and proper- make sure the grounding plate went back in!

By the grounding plate I'm assuming you mean the flat spring in the switch? Or am I missing something? I don't use this saw much but i do like it. Have just choked it to stop but it doesn't like to be choked. Thanks Mike

Because they are plastic cases and the coil mounts in what might be considered normal position for a mag cased saw, not bolted to the cylinder as with other clamshell type saws- they have a metal plate the coil mounts on which is attached to the engine to ground the coil.

I understand what you are talking about now. I will make sure I do have a ground before I put it back together. Thanks for the explanation.

If you didn't have the cylinder and flywheel off, it shouldn't be an issue.

I didn't have the cylinder or flywheel off but I did check and it was there. Wired up the switch and it works as it should. Thanks for the help.
