This one is slightly different than my original. This one is a little shorter with a smaller diameter lock cylinder, and has 3 terminals on the back. My original only has 2.
Im guessing that GM superceded the replacements at one time.
Has anyone ever come accros this before?
The Part number stamped on my original reads:1997(rust pit)3.
Im assuming it's the same number. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 461 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 461 | The third terminal may be an accessory terminal. Did you get a new lock cylinder with the switch?

You can ring the switch out, one will be on soon as you turn the key on, the other will come on when you turn it to the start position.
Is your starter still foot actuated or is it upgraded with a solenoid? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | The switch came with lock cylinder & keys, they are briggs & Stratton, but they are not the typical briggs & stratton keys you usually see. These ones are round, like tool box keys.
My starter is still foot actuated. | | |
