Howdy folks. Sort of off topic, but a stange happening. I was running my 1980 John Deere Trailfire 440. Running good. We were riding for a few hours. About half way into our journey, I found that my killswitch wouldn't work. I told my brother, and he said to pull the choke if I had to stop it. Ok. Must be the switch is going bad.

Note-I had it idling for about 15 minutes at 3000 RPMs getting my brother unstuck, and the plugs didn't foul, and no other effect on the engine. Forget Polaris, Ski-Doo, and Arctic Cat, and buy a John Deere! Lol, just kidding.
