Additional information
This ignition key, part number 725-1341B, inserts into the ignition switch to allow electrical power to reach the ignition system so the engine can start and run. Removing the key shuts off the engine and helps prevent unintended starting.
If the engine will not start, shuts off unexpectedly, or the key fits loosely in the ignition switch, the ignition key may be worn, damaged, or missing. Cracks, deformation, or excessive wear can prevent proper contact.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Insert the key fully into the ignition switch and confirm it turns smoothly and stays seated during operation.
Ignition key 725-1341B replaces part numbers 725-1341, 725-05387.
