pro armor tether switch

[stephen12091985]

ok the metal part on the outside of the switch.i was puttin around the yard and i touched that metal circle part and i touched one of my allen screws and i got shocked.why am i gettin shocked?it works fine and shuts off when i pull the cord so i dont know

idk dude, i have the same switch, i never got shocks, only had problems with running it and the key, so i just took the key off, i'd check to make shure that bare wired aren't touching the round metal peice, maybe the allen heads are acting as grounds and sending u a shock.

the only problem i had witht the pro armour switch was that it is normally open cuircit, and the blaster is normally closed, so that is why i had to take ut my key and all, idk, i don't get how it even ran with that if u still have the key in and connected.

next time urs is running touch that metal circle and touch one of your bolts or something with bare skin and see if you get a little shock.feels like if u put ur tounge on a battery but with ur hand

i'll try that yoday when me and my dad go ridin, if i don't feel one, i'll tyell u, my best guess is that there is a bare wire touchin the circle, and whe u touch the bolts it grounds, sending u a zap.

 

[yzrider]

u are somehow completeing the circut, i'll test this later, idk what is happening though, i wish there was a better way to disassemble those things so u could see the wires.

 

[stephen12091985]

[stephen12091985]

i know that i just touch it by accident the other day but im not worried about it

 

[yzrider]

u touched the mounting bolts right?, i touched them and got nothin, idk whats wrong dude, sorry i couldn't help

 

[stephen12091985]

no i touched my bolts for my throttle cover.i have allen bolts

 

[yzrider]

huh, idk then, i never got shocked, i touched all over my quad, weird, i still think that there is a bare wire touching that metal circle on the tether switch and when u touch the other thig i is making a circut and shocking u.

 

[stephen12091985]
