Make sure you are connecting it to the proper connector. It can be swapped with the connector for the crankcase vent heater. Instant blown switch. To check measure the voltage. The switch connector will have 5 volts and the crank vent gets 12.

Heading down to North Westy to grab another one from Kirk and give it a try. Never figured it would make that much difference...

Is a clickly idle switch conclusive? Maybe double check continuity of the switch at idle? Granted, I don't understand why it would get better under load... |
