Super Jet Start/stop Question

Ok guys i think i have read every start stop thread on here, but i might be missing something so thought id rase the question one more time..

Problem: My ski keeps cutting out, it can happen when riding flat or riding surf or doing stalls, so essentially when ever it feels like it - sometimes once in a ride and other time 5 times in 10min... when it stalls it starts up first click of the button!

Figured it was my Stop switch, pulled it apart and looks to be in good nick, did the standard Wet/dry on the terminals, replaced the plug- tested resistance it was under 5ohm which i think is the spec..

When i use the standard CDI it will just simply not spark at all- unless i unplug the WHITE wire and it has full spark.. when i run the AM ignition it does spark with the stop switch connected but cuts out when i ride it...

OK SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
if there was a break in the wire the stop button simply wouldn't work right?? unless its a break in the white wire and its rubbing on something. the loom seems to be in good nick.. Am i over looking something? thanks for your input.
Jay

Do a test ride with the idle screw backed all the way down so the engine dies when you shut the throttle and disconnect the white/black plug to the S/S switch.
Does it still cut out ?
I chased a problem like this and the lead wire from the S/S was rubbed and worn through one spot in the handle pole tube, couldn't find the problem until we pulled the switch assembly completely out!

If it works with the white wire disconnected, then the white wire must be returning ground or intermittent ground either because the harness is compromised like supertune said or a going bad lanyard switch.

Could be your lanyard, a buddy of mine was riding my ski and using a kawi lanyard and it kept just turning off, we also had the same problem with a lanyard we bought off eBay, your key shouldn't wiggle at all... Just my thoughts

x2 ! If after testing with the white/ black plug from the start stop switch disconnected you are still experiencing this issue we might wish to check the stator. If problem occurs only with the am ignition please advise or check with Watty.

100% what i thought could be happening... Problem is my butterflys ae flogged that i dont trust the ski to idle & the other thing is somthimes is wont cut out.. But i think we have nailed it.

good sudgestion however cannont be the case as i had the switch apart when testing (so no lanyard nessessary)
