Default What is this for?

Can someone please advice me on the purpose of the extra wiring provided with the electronic ignitions? I have two new planes, both with 26cc gas engines (obviously my first ones) in assembly and niether engine instructions tell me what to do with it. Help!

Both wrong, it's a power lead for the ignition to connect to a switch that does not have a plug. Never seen it used because all our switches have plugs, throw it away and forget about it.</p>

The extra plug is for connecting an electronic kill switch. Before you had to use a y-connector in the power connector to use an electronic kill switch.
