Jred handlebar heater switch update.........
just as i thot,,the switch is a single pole double throw center off switch..
original switch on top,replacement on bottom

the stem needs to be cut and rounded,,tomorrow..
found PLENTY of room to mount and tighten from secondary nut inside to keep front flush and stock looking..
with a very slight crimp the wire end fit perfect...
I mounted it in a piece of cardboard to show how it looks with the factory nut.
if you look close you can see a nut with rounded corners sits INSIDE the stock nut,,thats the reason to tighten secondary nut from inside the saw.
for an unavailable switch this will work and should pass a casual scrutiny once the stem is cut and rounded..
switch is made in USA and rated 6 amps @ 120vac..
i cant see that little generator putting out more than that.
would like to know specs on those electrics tho.
gave Robin a couple of them switches,,cant see why they wont work.
took some reading off the windings that supply the lecticity,,two wires to the switch.
decided not to pull flywheel after dissecting the switch.
of course i found more resistance in one lead over the other,,makes sense when there is a hi and lo setting..
seems what they did was split the stator in uneven segments and each lead tap's off one or the other..
UNLESS,,,the hi wire splits inside and connects both winding s ?? on the lo setting that would isolate each winding.
OR they could use an isolation diode to connect hi to both to seperate the lo side ??
OR,,,,,, durn i WOULD like to see thier schem for that !!
99 cent fix,,i think ??
