314h won't shut off. Ignition switch interchangeable w 416h

[Cee245 853]

My 314h won't shut down with the key switch.  I've checked the wiring and there is no noticeable damage.  I know of the dark blue wire from switch to regulator... I am not good with electrical, but i usually get it eventually. Before I look too far...

 

Would a switch from a 97 416h (onan)work on this 93 314h (kohler)  I was hoping to test if the switch on the 314 is bad.

No.

416-8 uses battery ignition switch 103990

314-H uses magneto ignition switch 116338

 

The switch function can be checked. Click on the switch.

Check to be sure the key switch on the 314H has a good ground. The switch is seeking a ground in the off position to stop the magneto from producing ignition spark.
