Building a predator engine for my sons Motovox mini bike. The kill switch on the handle bars is crucial for this. How do i wire the Motovox Kill switch to the predator engine? Any input would be great thanks.

Take the grounding lead from coil and add wire length to it (soldered is best) then put the kill switch in series to ground, one side to new wire and other side to ground. Kill switch must be "normally open" type.

Motovox kill switch might be internally grounded. (To bars in the off position, single wire switch)

Mikey's, check out this thread. Not a Predator, but same setup. You should disconnect that oil shut off switch, since on a mini bike, enough rocking and rolling will cause it to think the oil ran dry and shut off the engine.

Then use one of those wires up to your existing kill switch.

these are the two wires coming from the switch... its very simple...



ground the green wire on the motor, here it is grounded on along with the motor switch's ground wire on the fan shroud...


take the black/white wire and splice it into the set of wires, which connect to the oil lever sensor and the other end of the motor's switch... in my case i disconnected the oil level sensor, so i used the wire going to that... i used a quick connect style connector for it...
