ABSTRACT:
An interlock circuit is provided wherein a foot switch connected through a diode to the alternator is depressed during rope-pull starting and provides power from the alternator to energize a relay and disable a magneto kill circuit to facilitate manual start. As the engine turns over and current flows from the alternator, the relay is bootstrapped to the energized position so that the engine remains running even after the foot switch is released. Normal interlock features, such as those which rely on operator presence or the transmission being in neutral, remain operational without additional switches and without need for a battery being present in the circuit.
