Its located in the control box.
You will have to take it apart to get to it.
Part number 41
This is the switch that will not let you start the motor in gear.

No it is not.----It is located on the starboard side of the block.-----One white wire goes to it.----If switch is dirty internally it is easy to clean !!

Engine needs to be throttled down enough for the safety-switch to be off/ungrounded it junctions on an isolated lower terminal of the cut out sw then to the solenoid opposite the ign terminal. It's to keep the engine from cranking at too high throttle. There is internal shift linkage to keep the throttle from opening too far, if in neutral and a little faster in reverse. WOT is only available in forward.


The safety sw is mounted under the flywheel and is ajusted during synchronization. (Get a book)

Sometimes no crank is from a bad solenoid or bad battery or ground connection...

Could be anywhere. Without knowing what engine you have, nobody can tell you definitively.

MODEL and YEAR, for a start would help everybody... (please add that to the first post in all threads)
