Joe does not mean to disconnect the BLK/YLW wire permanently. He's just trying to walk you through troubleshooting the ignition system. If the problem goes away with the wire disconnected then it leads you in one direction (kill switch or wiring), if the problem persists then you need to look at other components: power pack, coils, etc.Ok... I'll disconnect the kill switch, but I doubt that is the problem (tho I hope it is!)
