So the key switch on my recently aquired 150cc doesn't seem to turn the engine off. It turns the dash and blinkers and brake lights off but the engine remains running when I turn the key to off. The killswitch kills the engine just fine and I have been using that for now but am trying to figure out how the killswitch can kill the engine but the key switch won't even though it turns everything else off?

You didn't say what you have, but the first thing to do would be to give the scoot a good going over and especially look for a loose or corroded wire (ground) in the key switch/harness.

Hi,
i currently have exactly the same problem as you and was just about to create a thread but maybe we can help each other out.
the fact that when you turn your key off the AC systems turn off I.e. Blinkers fuel gauge tells me your ignition switch is working and wired correctly.
(I don't have a kill switch) but my side stand has a cut out. If this works then the wire from your cdi is ok. Mine works fine
I have been trying to diagnose this fault for about 2 months and not found the culprit wire YET... I do get it to work when I fiddle with the 2 main 12v wires the one that goes from the starter motor and the one from the battery to the solenoid. Maybe try around here, I have had it twice where I thought I had fixed it and it was working perfectly fine then after going for a ride hey it's not working again. I'm hi king it maybe a connector near there that when I fiddle with one wire its pulling on that one
one more thing can you kick start it when the ignition is off? I can which is weird and I know you can do that when your ignition is unhooked but mine isn't. Hopefully someone with more experience with the wiring harness can come along and help us and if I figure it out in the mean time I'll be sure to come and let you know in case it helps you.

Mine has an alarm system so no jumper wire needed, replaced alarm system last week in case it was that and checked all wires. Not sure if Iain has an alarm?
