............................................ My question is since many use a servo on the choke , why would a remote kill switch be needed? Just flip on the choke and the engine is off. $40.00 and an extra device saved. Am I missing something?
This is like one of those
which oil is best type msg threads.[&:]
Both a mechanical and a electrical style eng kill can fail, neither is the do all - be all - best way.
Throttle linkages can & do fail, as well as electrical ign kills can fail.
I use a combo approach of having a good throttle linkage setup (I hope doesn't fail/fall off) plus an ign kill.
That way I'm covered on both. If one of my gassers has a linkage issue in taxing/pits/flying, a
quick & simple flip of a tx switch and it's dead right now![sm=thumbs_up.gif]
