You'll need a different switch for the ignition coil. The magneto switch grounds the points to stop the engine. That WILL also stop the battery ignition engine, but will kill the coil and the battery if you leave it grounded. You need a switch that you pull to turn on and wire that between the ammeter load terminal and the coil supply terminal. Gerald J. |

| Would have to know more about the switch you bought. Is it a ign. switch or a light-charge switch? |

Too bad they don't send a diagram with it. Steve at B&B will if you need it. The field windings hook to the 3 position switch so they go through the resistor when the switch is in, and are grounded when the switch is out. The lights connect so they are on when in the middle position. The coil MUST be wired to a separate ON OFF switch that has battery power to the other side. There is no direct connection from the coil to the 3 position switch. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

There is a diagram on Stieners site for the 3 pole switch. http://steinertractor.com/pdfs/ACS139_instructions.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://steinertractor.com/pdfs/ACS139_instructions.pdf ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| Hook your OFF-ON switch to the generator side of the amp meter. 14 ga wire will be fine. Bob |

When installing that 3 position switch, be careful that none of the wires touch the inside of the box. I don't carry that switch, I sell the OEM Delco switch that was the main stream switch during mass assembly. Many of our customer's told me about how that aftermarket switch does not fit well in some of the ammeter boxes and how their harnesses got shish-ka-bobbed because of that. When running a Battery ignition, its always good to use a regular Ignition switch to control power. This way you have a switch that is designed to handle the power chores without being to light of a switch to cause problems in the wiring system elsewhere......
