OK great, so now turn the dial so that there is some time on the timer. When you do that, load 1 should have a reading and load 2 should not.Yes ,Load 2 has a reading , load 1 no reading- open. thk/u

No, after turning the dial all stays the same ?OK great, so now turn the dial so that there is some time on the timer. When you do that, load 1 should have a reading and load 2 should not.
Lots of good input here and well thought , but i'm lost (reverse action switching ? ) SEG , GTS ignition, cube ignitions ?? I'm just a good valve lapper !! . Is the reverse action switching schematic drawing the one I should show my sparky buddy for help? thk/u. gus..Well according to this user instruction sheet I found on the internet, you have to wire the two line input terminals together for this to work as a spdt.

Note this bottom schematic, shows both lines wired together, then load1 or load2 will work for this application.
Hello; so which of the above posted wiring diagrams should i go by ? thk/u.Don't think of reversing or other bits that may confuse. From the common terminal either load will be on or off whether the timer is ticking or clicks off. Just use whichever either grounds your ignition to run or to stop. Connect in series to the magneto's primary wire if you can (point ign) or a gen's on/off switch (pointless ign)
If the timer is strictly mechanical no need to supply 120v or anything. Again just connect common to the engine (ground) or grounded term of a gen's on/off switch and whichever load terminal works to ground or not to shut 'er down. btw, betting you'll agree it's pretty simple once you've done it.
