Default Question on kill switch for magneto ignition


I would like to setup a servo operated microswitch for ignition cutoff for a Zenoah 26cc with MAGNETO ignition.

My question is:
What parameters (voltage, current, other) do I need to observe when selecting the switch ?

Any microswitch rated for 110-250v / 10 amp or higher will work

I have used microswitches like this as a magneto grounding switch (kill switch). This is just a generic photo, they are available with different operator arms on them also. The Zenoah toggle switch will also work with modification, I drilled a hile in the toggle operator and used a pushrod and servo to operate the toggle switch before.
