      1955 Johnson 25 Automatic Ignition Cut-Out help

      Hello, restoring a 1955 RD-17, it has a cut-out switch, it needs a ground wire from it to the magneto to cut the bottom cylinder spark.

      Can someone please tell me where it connects on the magneto? I assumed it was the negative post of the bottom cylinder points? There is not a hole in magneto plate to get wire up,

      Please Help,

      V/R

        it goes on the point    to kill ignition. the text in your page is explicit.   it works like  typical kill button except here it is  vacum activated to ground just 50% of the magneto.  the point set for the  lower cyl is the rear coil’S  point… just follow the  coil wire that goes to the correct points
