I took a snowmobile from my father in laws farm. I had intentions of getting it running. It is a 1976 Ski Moto Futura 440.

I don't have a key for it.

The ignition has the following wires, BAT, LITE, GRD, MAG and one unlabeled in the center of the ignition switch.


To hot wire it which wires would I connect or ground out?

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Disconnect the MAG connection and run the wire to a simple on-off switch grounded to the machine. A tether switch with a lanyard on the wrist would also be a good idea. DO NOT feed battery power to the ignition.
