Super Jet Disabling lanyard kill switch?

[JT_Freeride]

Hey I was wondering if there was a way to disable the lanyard kill switch. I'm asking because its gunked up and won't work and I want to ride while I wait for a new one. Before anyone asks why would I want to get rid of the kill switch?
I don't use a stop anyway I've been through 3 s/s switches this year and everyone the stop breaks and causes it to engage so I just disconnected it and lowered the idle to where the ski would just die after about 4 secs. Perfect for being in the air

Disconnect the white and black connectors at your ebpx. That is the stop circuit. Make sir and turn down the idle if it's set up.

I have that now but it won't start like crank because the lanyard switch is acting like is disengaged

Like are there wires inside the switch that I can cut to completely disable the lanyard.

Just take everything apart and clean it.

I'm doing that now lol. I fixed it for now but I know it will be back. Is there anything people use to keep the water from getting in those switches.

You could try to seal them with some rtv

lithium spray grease helps keep the water off the switches.

Buy a brand new OEM switch assembly. They last for 20 years. Quit using used switches.

for real, a switch should last you at least 5 years.

where do they leak i opened mine today and every switch is sealed mine is a 09 but i doubt much has changed since they started making them

like they say it should last years

There is a metal disc on the start stop portions of the switch that can get some buildup that will cause the buttons to stop working, clean them off and usually your good to go......... As far as the Lanyard part, I have never had or seen that part of a switch go bad. Just bypass that part of the switch, all it does is ground out the circuit just like the stop switch does.........

Dielectric grease works great on most electric pieces.

Ya I know haha

you can zip tie it!
not recommended, but you can get a new set of switches for $60 plus shipping
so why risk your ski/life/liability?

 

[JT_Freeride]

Well turns out after I cleaned the switch completely and had it working perfectly my UMI decided to chew up my wires because I forgot to zip tie it in a safe place FML

 

[davidy]

dont disable it unless you want the chance of your ski looking like my profile pic. all my ski will have lanyards from now on..

If you disable the kill switch all you have to do is turn the idle down so it shuts off when you let off if the throttle
