I am confused I have a A510-2 keyed mag switch type from Aircraft spruce which I am trying to wire into my panel. However, for the Rotax I expected it to ground the mags when in the off and for them to be open when on.  The switch seems to be the opposite. Am I mistaken?  Or is this switch for Cessna mag types which operate differently?

Graeme,

I have the same switch (A510-2) wired as shown in the attached diagram.

The mags are earthed in the off position, not earthed in both and start

positions. Works fine. Is your switch different from this?

Thanks for that,  I have concluded the switch I have is just duff, it should have worked ok. Ha, took it apart and now I cant get it back together - its obviously quite old so I shall use separate switches as recomended by Rotax.
