    89 classic 50, 45hp. no spark because of autoblend not connected?

    curious, i did not connect my autoblend unit to my motor. would this cause no spark? mechanic said it didnt matter if u connect it or not, but where do the wires connect to the unit to the motor? if i delete the remote oil blend unit, would i need to bypass the safety switch? thanks dino
