Re: ignition switch oddites
Which engine did you start first? I tend to start the port engine first, but not always.
Re: ignition switch oddites
Port engine. These are 454 crusader model 350s.
Re: ignition switch oddites
I start my starboard engine first every time.
Re: ignition switch oddites
Is it possible that you're trying to start it in gear after it stalls? There's a neutral safety switch that prevents cranking while in gear. Your backup ignition switch probably bypasses that.
For the not shutting off, a second ignition switch will keep the ignition powered up even after you shut off the main key.
Oh, and I always alternate which engine I start first to keep the hours even.
Re: ignition switch oddites
Tks for the response. Common sense has prevailed. It was in gear and the emergency test ignitions in engine room do not have a neutral safety.

Sometimes I get one right. Thanks for the follow-up.
