Topic: 78 cb550 kill switch wiring query

[aky123]

Hi all

Just finishing complete rewire of my cb550 project, however the kill switch
Has me stumped. Every diagram shows the black and black/white wire running through it, however my switch has the black and white wire which only has continuity in the 'off' position to a green wire? The black wire has nothing to do with kill on this switch.  Surely earthing the coils to stop it would cause problems with blowing fuses?? All other wiring fine and working. Cheers!

For some reason this switch only has two feeds to the kill switch, green and black/white which are connected in off position. The black is not connectd to this switch in any way. I have no idea why but will blow fuses if set this way?! Infuriating.

Pulled the switch apart, this kill switch has green wired to the off position and black/white on its own at run position. There is three brass contacts as opposed to two anywhere else ive seen. Odd.
