I got that!!

The problem is the engine will not start!!

The seat switch must be engaged (you got to sit on the seat) for the engine to get spark!!

I have a hard time remembering this!!

This happens to me this time of the year, the battery is run down, I am running around making sure the jumper cables are hooked up, carb getting gas etc...., I forget I got to sit on the seat or the engine will not start.

Is this normal or do I need to replace a switch!!??

Normal
