Cat 22 magneto question - Wico mag? was created by Peter C

Can anybody tell me if the terminal with the nut on it that is below the data plate on my Wico Model X magneto used for grounding out the mag to kill the engine? I want to rig up a kill switch but didn't want to ground out the wrong thing. Apparently my ignition switch doesn't work-no continuity shown on an ohm meter.

Thanks

Pete

You are correct, thats what it is used for. Sometimes working and lubricating those switches will help them work better.
