I have a 1952 Case D that I am trying to hook up the magneto kill switch. When i wire the switch to the mag it has no effect. I have tried taking the mag cap off and re-adjusting the brass arm but this does not work either. I now have taken the points out and cleaned behind them. I put it back together with the switch attached and unhooked and now I can not get it started. I am going to take the cap back off and push the brass arm back to see if it will start. Any help would be appreciated. I am just finishing this up before I get ready to paint. Thanks

A question first. Did you remove the rotor when you removed the points? If so you must retime the rotor to the small drive gear. The dot on the small gear goes between the two beveled teeth on the rotor on the side facing the cap. For the kill switch, attach a wire at the bottom of the cap for the kill switch wire and ground it against the engine block or the mag case. If the motor stops the kill switch stud is ok. The switch you attach to the wire must ground out the mag when pushed in. Most switches when pushed in are open meaning there is no path between the terminals so the motor continues to run. A distributor switch provides a path when the switch is pulled out!! You can use one of these but it will work opposite of a battery ignition.
