I started with a toggle switch, but then changed to a momentary pushbutton. With the pushbutton, you hold it down for a second or two, then release and the engine is ready to bump start. If something comes up and you have to prematurely release the pushbutton, your engine is either stopped and ready to bump start or it is still idling.
The problem with a toggle switch is you flip it off, then if something comes up (traffic or passenger) that diverts your attention, it may cause you to forget to flip the toggle back on, then when you bump start, you get the dead engine sag until you remember that you forgot to flip the toggle back on and can flip it back on to get your engine power back. If you needed that engine power instantly to get out of a developing traffic situation, those seconds with a dead spinning engine could cause you some anxious moments.
