- Insert the new ignition switch into the panel, align it correctly, and tighten the mounting nut.

- Reconnect the battery cable, insert the key, and test all switch positions (OFF, ON, START) to ensure proper function.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this ignition switch fits my Yamaha engine?
A: Start by checking the "Compatible Engine Models" and "Part Number Cross-Reference" tables on this page against your engine's model, year, and original part number. For additional help, use our Yamaha Serial Number Guide linked above to verify your details.
Q: What does the "Push-to-Choke" function do?
A: This feature allows you to prime the engine for a cold start. By pushing the key inwards while in the ON position, you activate the engine's choke (or fuel enrichment circuit), which makes starting a cold engine easier.
Q: My engine won't start after installing the new switch. What should I check?
A: First, double-check that the wiring harness connector is pushed in all the way and has clicked into place. Second, ensure you have properly reconnected the negative battery cable and that it is secure. Finally, verify that no fuses were blown during the installation process.
