I still haven't even sourced a switch for the TCC lockup... you think I'm going to find a momentary contact switch, and the correct circuit to make to cancel ignition so I can shut the engine down w/o turning the key?

Him don't know me very well... LOL.

I had made, at one point, a micro-controlled circuit that would start the engine, and then, when pushed again, would shut it down by grounding the ignition circuit. You didn't have to hold the button to start the engine, just push it and it would crank for a preset number of milliseconds. I think I had it set to 1500ms or so.

It ended up burning up, though. I had something not wired correctly, I guess. I never made another one, because I lost interest in it.
